Project description
Pharmaceuticals are internationally considered as emerging environmental micorpollutants. This project aims at gaining innovative insights into the environmental partitioning and ecotoxicological effects of the studied pharmaceuticals. Therefore, innovative chemical analytical methods will be developed, optimized and validated to measure trace concentration levels of selected pharmaceuticals in aqueous and solid environmental matrices.
