Title: Evaluation of Analytical Chemical Methods for Detection of Estrogens in the Environment
Summary: Methods for chemical analysis of estrogens in wastewater (incl.
sludge), surface water, and agricultural matrices (soil/manure) is reviewed with
the purpose of finding the best methods for monitoring estrogen pollution.
Generally, the sensitivity demands are so strict that tandem mass-spectrometry (MS-MS) coupled with liquid (LC) or gas chromatography
(GC) must be used. Single MS- methods (esp. GC-MS) are sometimes acceptable, but tend to overestimate the concentrations.
Abstract in Danish:
Metoder til kemisk analyse af østrogener i spildevand (incl. slam), overfladevand, og landbrugsrelaterede matricer (gylle/jord) er undersøgt og vurderet for at finde de bedst egnede metoder til monitering af disse stoffer i miljøet. Kravene til især sensitivitet er så høje at tandem massespektrometri koblet til enten væske
(LC) eller gas (GC) kromatografi er bedste metoder. Single MS (særligt GC-MS) kan dog også anvendes, der er dog en risiko for at koncentrationerne overestimeres.
