Abstract

Nowdays, it is unattainable to follow, detect or identify all the chemicals that are excreted into the environmental aquatic bodies. The number of chemicals introduced into the environment in modified structures, as metabolites or as mixtures of chemical cocktails, is growing progressively. Illicit drugs and endocrine disruptive substances (EDCs) (emerging xenobiotics) are not excluded from this fate. Illicit drugs are xenobiotics with psychoactive effects and influences onto the human body and mind, and are excreted into the environment mostly in forms of metabolites. In sense of these facts, a high level off importance is appointed on an optimal and effective analytical practices and high performing equipment, but far more important is a good detection model for emerging substances, especially for detection of emerging xenobiotics in a highly polluted sample, as wastewater. This paper will show the results of qualitativeanalyses for complex sample matrix of mixed wastewater and results of detection for selected xenobiotics with endocrine disruptive and psychoactive effects.
