Target analysis of emerging polar organic substances in water, fish, and SPM using solid-phase extraction followed by UHPLC-MS-MS analysis
Emerging polar organic substances were analysed in water, fish, and SPM using solid-phase extraction followed by UHPLC-MS-MS analysis in the Danube River and tributaries for the Joint Danube Survey 3. Concentrations of organic micropollutants in the Danube River are low. Higher concentrations were found in some cases in the tributaries. The water AA-EQS limit values were only exceeded for PFOS (by a factor of 10) in both the Danube River and its tributaries. Also the biota EQS limit value for PFOS was exceeded in all cases. The concentrations for most of the contaminants were lower in 2013 compared to 2007, which indicates a decrease of water contamination.
