Abstract: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are becoming increasingly recognised as important micropollutants to be monitored in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), since WWTP effluents represent an important point source to natural aquatic systems. In this study, the abundance of 65 PPCPs was analysed in 5 Portuguese WWTPs during the spring and autumn. Due to the fact that analytical approaches normally used to quantify the abundance of these compounds are labour intensive and require various specific… Show more

“…The method detection limits (MDLs), and the method quantification limits (MQLs) were estimated as the concentration giving a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 3 and 10, respectively, are within the range of other methods developed for the same purpose (Ashton et al, 2004;Gros et al, 2013Gros et al, , 2006Kummerer, 2004;López-Serna et al, 2010;Petrovic et al, 2006;Salgado et al, 2010;Suominen, 2013;Ternes et al, 2001;Weigel et al, 2004;Yuan et al, 2012). MDL values ranged from 0.4 to 60.0 ng L À 1 in WWE and from 0.5 to 61.2 in WWI.…”

“…The total analysis time, including extraction and GC analysis, in only 40 min, and no manipulation of the sample is required. The GC-MS with MS in electronic impact (EI) in positive mode analytical technique is the most appropriate for the identification and quantification of the polycyclic musk fragrances (PMF) [9].…”

“…Low LOD and LOQ are obtained for the non-polar organic compounds such as musks for Ternes and Salgado in [9,19], when analysed by GC-MS as well as the recoveries were very high as presented in Table 1 for Smyth and Salgado in [9,39].…”
