Analytical Methods for Environmental Contaminants of Emerging
Concern Provides the analytical methodology required to detect
different families of organic compounds of emerging concern (CECs)
from environmental samples Most contaminants of emerging concern
(CECs) --such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products,
pesticides, sunscreens, perfluorinated compounds, and
microplastics--have been present in the environment for years, yet
some have only recently been identified, and many of these organic
compounds remain unregulated. Analytical methods have been
developed to determine the toxicity and risk of different families
of CECs. Analytical Methods for Environmental Contaminants of
Emerging Concern presents the methods currently available to
determine families of organic CECs in environmental samples. Each
section of the book is devoted to a particular family of CECs,
covering different analytical methods supported by examples of both
cutting-edge research and commonly used methods. An international
panel of experts describes every step of the analytical procedures,
including sample preparation, chromatographic separation coupled to
mass spectrometry or other instrumental techniques. Specific
requirements are linked to the properties of the contaminants and
the sample matrix for each procedure presented. Throughout the
book, in-depth case studies of analytical procedures for CEC
extraction, separation, and determination are presented to help
readers transfer the analytical methods to their laboratories.
Provides detailed descriptions of various approaches for
determining each group of CECs in environmental samples Covers
different types of aqueous, solid, and atmospheric samples Includes
up-to-date information on CEC properties, relevant legislation,
reported or potential metabolites/transformation products, and
environmental occurrence Addresses CECs such as novel psychoactive
substances, artificial sweeteners, musk fragrances, disinfection
byproducts, and microplastics Offers practical tips and advice on
special care procedures to assist readers in CEC determination
Analytical Methods for Environmental Contaminants of Emerging
Concern is an essential reference and guide for advanced students
and researchers in analytical chemistry and science, environmental
science, forensic science, and specialized subjects related to
analytical chemistry.
