a) LOD and LOQ are reported after preconcentration and extraction of samples
b) The authors report a significant background signal (up to 3 ng/L) in the HPLC-fractions without E2 and EE2.
c) No sample preparation was made, samples were only tested on synthetic sewage
d) No sample preparation was made
