“…bisphenol A, Peng et al 2006) may occur. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products have also been shown to be broken down with exposure to light (Kot-Wasik et al 2007). However, some endocrine-disrupting contaminates do tend to persist and bioaccumulate in the environment Geyer et al 2000).…”

The disruption of endocrine systems due to environmental contaminants potentially impacts on the developmental, behavioural, regulatory and reproductive systems of animals. A major source of exposure of animals (terrestrial and aquatic) to endocrine-disrupting compounds is through contact with contaminated surface waters contaminated with sewage effluent and/or stormwater discharge. We studied the response to endocrine-disrupting compounds of Gambusia holbrooki mosquito fish resident of wetlands that were used for the storage of either treated sewage effluent or stormwater runoff. We found that fish from wetlands that received polluted waters directly from the source (treated sewage effluent or stormwater runoff) demonstrated a morphological response consistent with endocrine disruption. In contrast, fish in the second in the series of wetlands that housed treated sewage effluent did not show evidence of such response. However, those from the second in the series of stormwater receiving wetlands did display a morphological response, although it could be considered milder than was observed in fish from the first in this effluent stream. Fish were also smaller in the wetland that received sewage effluent directly from the sewage treatment plant than elsewhere. Although the differences were not statistically significant, the average size of fish in the first in the series of stormwater wetlands were also small and second only to those in the first sewage effluent wetland.

“…This is due to their ubiquity in the aquatic environment at ng/l levels, their ecotoxicological/health effects and the lack of government regulations. For example, thanks to the GC techniques the fi rst report about clofi bric acid in natural water was presented in 1981 (Kot-Wasik Dębska and Namieśnik 2007).…”

“…The lower cost of GC analysis and the smaller amounts of solvent consumed also favour such approach. It was also reported that the limits of pharmaceuticals' detection are often smaller when GC was used, compared to the LC technique (Kot-Wasik et al 2007, Görög 2011, Shaaban and Górecki 2015. Moreover, the widespread availability of the relevant instruments in laboratories means that GC is an excellent tool for identifying and quantifying pharmaceuticals in different matrices which can be implemented in routine analysis in environmental, clinical and food analysis laboratories much more quickly.…”

This paper aims at presenting the possibilities of applying gas chromatography for the determination of pharmaceutical residues in different matrices. Section one of the study underscores the environmental advantages of employing GC for such analyses. Section two presents the innovative methods for determining pharmaceuticals in the environment. The last section discusses the results of the analysis of the GC and GC-MS market in Poland.According to the literature data, the described methods were applied for the analysis of real samples: wastewaters, surface waters, soil samples. The samples were collected from the Pomerania region and the Gulf of Gdańsk. The pharmaceuticals were determined in various environmental samples. The highest concentrations were found in raw wastewater, medium -in a treated wastewater, and the lowest -in surface water. The most frequently detected pharmaceuticals were: ibuprofen, paracetamol, diclofenac and naproxen, all belonging to NSAIDs.Furthermore, the results of the study of the Polish GC market indicate that a very limited number of entities are currently using chromatographic techniques, and pharmaceutical residues tests are exceptions, mainly due to the lack of the legal requirements in this fi eld and the lack of own laboratories.
