Abstract: | Organic pollutants are a highly relevant topic in environmental science and technology. This article briefly reviews historic
developments, and then focuses on the current state of the art and future perspectives on the qualitative and quantitative
trace determination of polar organic contaminants, which are of particular concern in municipal and industrial wastewater
effluents, ambient surface waters, run-off waters, atmospheric waters, groundwaters and drinking waters. The pivotal role
of advanced analytical methods is emphasized and an overview of some contaminant classes is presented. Some examples of polar
water pollutants, which are discussed in a bit more detail here, are chosen from projects tackled by the research group led
by the author of this article. |
