Trace Determinations of Individual Organic Pollutants – 25 Years of Research at the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology (EAWAG)

Abstract

An overview is given on analytical developments and applications for the determination of organic trace pollutants which have been performed at EAWAG since 1972. Gas and liquid chromatographic methods are of crucial importance. The presented examples include environmental hydrocarbons, semivolatile compounds and detergent-derived chemicals.
