analytical method development and
environmental risk assessment
Περιγραφή
The present work illustrates the development of an analytical method, based on offline solid
phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography–electron spray ionisation–single
quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) for the simultaneous determination of pharma ceuticals belonging to various therapeutic classes (analgesics/anti-inflammatories, lipid
regulators, antibiotics, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, psychomotor stimulants, glucocorticoid
steroids, disinfectants, beta-blockers, H2 receptor antagonists and oestrogens) in surface
waters. The method developed was applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical residues in
surface waters from different sampling points along the aquatic systems of Lake Pamvotis
and the River Kalamas, close to the city of Ioannina (Epirus, Greece), while the monitoring
programme was carried out during the four seasons of the year. According to the results
obtained, the majority of the compounds were detected in discrepant concentrations. The
concentrations for all the compounds ranged from levels below quantification limit to
3506 ng/L, with caffeine and salicylic acid being the ubiquitous compounds. The results of
the monitoring contributed substantially to the knowledge on the occurrence of pharmaceu ticals in Greece and more specifically in surface waters of the region of Epirus. Regarding the
environmental risk due to the presence of target compounds in surface waters, this was
estimated calculating risk quotients (RQs) for different aquatic organisms (algae, daphnids
and fish). The results denoted a possible threat for the aquatic environment, rendering in this
way the RQ method as a helpful tool for a first approach. Extensive study is needed for
triclosan, salicylic acid, sulfamethoxazole and erythromycin in order to better correlate their
occurrence and potential toxic effects in aquatic life and humans.
