“…The strength of non-targeted analysis using TOF-MS is based on the detection of all ions present at a given retention time and the high mass accuracy which leads to the prediction of the tentative molecular formula. As an alternative to a TOF mass spectrometer, the application of an orbital ion trap has been described for contaminant analysis in water 44 . The molecular formula prediction was used as the starting point to quickly select reference standards.…”

Monitoring pharmaceuticals throughout the water cycle is becoming increasingly important for the aquatic environment and eventually for human health. Targeted and non-targeted analysis are today's means of choice. Although targeted analysis usually conducted with the help of a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer may be more sensitive, only compounds previously selected can be identified. The most powerful non-targeted analysis is performed through time of flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MS) extended by a quadrupole mass analyzer (Q), as used in this study. Preceded by solid phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the non-targeted approach allows to detect all ionizable substances with high sensitivity and selectivity. Taking full advantage of the Q-TOF-MS instrument, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments accelerate and facilitate the identification while a targeted MS method enhances the sensitivity but relies on reference standards for identification purposes. The identification of four pharmaceuticals from Rhine river water is demonstrated. The Rhine river originates in Tomasee, Graubünden, Switzerland and flows into the North Sea, near Southern Bight, The Netherlands. Its length amounts to 1232.7 km. Since it is of prime interest to effectively eliminate pharmaceuticals from the water cycle, the effect UV-C irradiation is demonstrated on a laboratory scale. This method allows fast degradation of pharmaceuticals, which is exemplarily shown for the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin. Using the above HPLC-Q-TOF-MS method, concentration-time diagrams are obtained for the parent drug and their photodegradation products. After establishing the equations for first-order sequential reactions, computational fitting allows the determination of kinetic parameters, which might help to predict irradiation times and conditions when potentially considered as fourth stage within wastewater treatment.

“…Most of the analytical procedures that have been proposed are for organic ECs and generally involve three stages: 1) extraction, 2) separation, and 3) detectionquantification of the analyte. The most commonly-used extraction method is solid phase extraction (SPE), which in addition to extracting the analytes of interest allows large volumes of sample to be treated to concentrate the analytes under study (Fang et al, 2012;Vidal-Dorsch et al, 2012;Li et al, 2013;Comtois-Marotte et al, 2017). The phases typically used for the SPE are hydrophilic, lipophilic, water-wettable and based on a reverse phase sorbent that can operate over a wide pH range and can concentrate a wide range of compounds (Ferrer et al, 2010;Ferrer and Thurman, 2012;Huerta et al, 2016;Petrie et al, 2016).…”

“…An alternative method to minimize the use of solvents is solid phase microextraction (SPME), which works under the principle of the SPE on a small scale through the use of fibers that are directly exposed to the sample and by which the analytes are extracted (Lopes et al, 2017). For identification and quantification, chromatographic techniques coupled with mass spectroscopy are generally used (Vidal-Dorsch et al, 2012;Li et al, 2013;Comtois-Marotte et al, 2017). Liquid chromatography (LC) is preferred to gas chromatography, since most ECs are polar and non-volatile; hence, for the use of GC in most cases, it would be necessary to perform a derivatization of the analyte.…”

Industrial development has made new products available to people to make their lives easier. Items such as food, cleaning, personal care and health products, among others, are processed, sold and consumed daily by all age groups. These products include in their formulation inorganic and organic chemicals with the purpose of improving or increasing some of their properties, making them more attractive to the consumer. These substances are strictly controlled during production so that the final product may be safely consumed. In most cases, the constituents of commercial products end up in wastewater, where they are not controlled. These uncontrolled pollutants of differing chemical natures are known as “Emerging Contaminants” (ECs). Research worldwide has found ECs in various environmental matrices, especially water. To understand this problem, four fundamental aspects must be addressed: 1) the analytical methods for its determination; 2) the occurrence in environmental matrices; 3) the treatments for the removal of ECs in wastewater and drinking water plants; and 4) the risks to health and the environment. This document reviews these four aspects with regard to 14 ECs commonly found in the studies around the world and addresses the state of these ECs in trans-American waters.

“…The problem started in 1970 when several toxicological reports demonstrated the impact of these emerging contaminants on aquatic organisms [1, 2]. These emerging contaminants differ from classical pollutants since they are continuously released to the environment via different sources including excretion of pharmaceuticals not completely metabolized by the body or their pharmacologically active metabolites or their incomplete elimination or transformation during sewage water treatment or due to inappropriate citizens', hospitals' or industrial discharges and finally reaching surface water [3,4] Although, these emerging contaminants may occur at trace levels in the environment in the range of µg.L -1 to ng.L -1 , they may pose toxic cumulative and synergistic effects on human and other living organisms [5].…”

Nowadays, applying green analytical principles in analytical chemistry without affecting the figures of merit is challenging to perform. One of the most important factors that contribute to greening an analytical method is to avoid the use of hazardous solvents and the tendency to use what is so-called green solvents since most of the chromatographic methods depend on using hazardous solvents. In this work, a green reversed-phase HPLC/DAD method has been developed for the simultaneous detection of three emerging contaminants in environmental water samples that have a highly negative impact on the environment. The simultaneous determination of the three emerging contaminants including diclofenac, carbamazepine, and triclosan, carried out in two different types of water samples, was achieved on Atlantis T3 RP C 18 column (250 mm ×4.6 mm i.d×5 µm) using a green isocratic mobile phase; ethanol: water (85:15, v/v) pumped at a flow rate 0.8 mLmin -1 . The linear concentration ranges obtained were 20-1000 ng.mL -1 , 60-1000 ng.mL -1 and 60-2000 ng.mL -1 for diclofenac, carbamazepine, and triclosan respectively. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were (3.66, 11.09), (7.51, 22.75) and (7.22, 21.88) ng.mL -1 for diclofenac, carbamazepine, and triclosan, respectively. The method was validated by the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Finally, two evaluation tools known as Analytical Eco-scale and Green analytical procedure index were adopted to evaluate the greenness of the proposed method. A comparison between the obtained results and the published results was carried out and no significant differences were found.
