Koetke, Danijela published the artcilePrioritised pharmaceuticals in German estuaries and coastal waters: Occurrence and environmental risk assessment, Name: Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is pharmaceutical environmental risk assessment estuary coastal water pollution Germany; Baltic sea; German bight; Pharmaceuticals; Seawater; UHPLC-MS/MS.
In this study a target anal. approach with method detection limits down to 0.01 ng L-1 was developed in order to determine ultra-trace pharmaceuticals in seawater of the German coast and their estuaries. The selection of target analytes based on a prioritisation commissioned by the German Environmental Agency considering occurrence in German surface waters, production volumes and ecotoxicol. data. Using ultra-high pressure liquid chromatog. coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionisation source 21 prioritised pharmaceuticals out of seven therapeutical classes (antibiotics, iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM), analgesics, lipid reducers, antiepileptics, anticonvulsants, beta-blockers) have been detected in the low to medium ng L-1-range. The most frequently measured substance groups in the German Baltic Sea and German Bight are the ICM, represented by the non-ionic ICM iomeprol and the ionic ICM amidotrizoic acid , resp. The same pattern of substance distribution could be detected in the German Bight, the German Baltic Sea and their inflows with lower concentrations in the offshore region that are partly a result of dilution with marine water. Pharmaceuticals entering the estuaries and coastal regions are an environmental issue since data on the ecotoxicol. effects on aquatic marine organisms is limited. Especially the antibiotics clarithromycin and sulfamethoxazole could be ecotoxicol./environmentally critical
