In recent years the interest of environmental analytical chemistry was turned to the so-called emerging contaminants or new unregulated contaminants including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, detergents, personal care products, plasticizers, flame retardants, gasoline additives, etc. These compounds are released continuously to the environment and can be found in water, sediments, soils, etc. In most of the cases they are found at trace level concentration (ng/L) therefore, powerful analytical capabilities are required for their determination.
