Abstract

Pharmaceutical residues in waste, surface, and drinking water, called micropollutants, have been recognized to cause damage to human and aquatic system. The most significant pathway of pharmaceuticals into the aquatic environment is through wastewater systems following consumption and excretion by humans, and via effluents from landfills, farms and abattoirs. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can eliminate some antibiotics while others may be hard to be removed in the process, and can therefore reach the aquatic environment. In recent years, an increasing knowledge of potentially dangerous consequences of the human exposure to pharmaceuticals from the environment has been described. Exposure to antibiotic residues in aquatic system is a particular concern because of the trace level concentration range, which can result in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Consequently, it is essential the development of reliable analytical methods, which enable rapid, sensitive and selective determination of pharmaceuticals in environment at trace level concentration ranges. Modern extraction methods like Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) has proved to be an excellent methodology for sampling and analysis in environmental matrices. It is a simple, fast, and solventless extraction technique. It also allows a high number of extractions with the same stir bar, reducing its cost. The present work aims the development of a sensitive, selective and environmental friendly multi-residual analytical methodology based on headspace sorptive bar extraction with in situ derivatization followed by gas chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS).
