OCCURRENCE AND ANALYSIS OF PHARMACEUTICALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Ludmila Mravcová, Ph.D.
摘要 :
Pharmaceuticals (PhACs) can be introduced into the environment via a number of routes. Some of the PhACs from human and animal sources are not fully removed in a conventional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and therefore they can be found in the effluent of WWTPs and in their sewage sludge. PhACs residues can enter the terrestrial environment following soil applications of wastewater (recycled water) and biosolids (e.g. treated sewage sludge). Animal waste is commonly applied to agriculture crop fields as a source of organic fertilizer (unfortunately with residues of PhACs). Some antibiotics may be retained in soils, while the remainder can leach to the surface- and groundwater through surface runoff and infiltration. Soil contaminated with residues of antibiotics causes selective outgrowth of resistant bacteria, which alternates antibiotics sensitivity of the whole microbial communities.
The LC/MS/MS technique is commonly used for the analysis of drug residues in the environment. Optimized extraction and analyte identification procedures are used to study and define potential sources of environmental contamination in water and soil.

Research focus
As a member of the research group of environmental analysis and the Materials Research Centre (CMV) I am responsible for tandem separation technique and mass spectrometry, especially LC/MS, GC/MS, and GCxGC/MS.
Recently, my research has focused on analyzing pharmaceuticals and pesticides in the environment and using advanced oxidation processes for their removal or concentration reduction. The next part of my research is devoted to the characterization of biochar obtained from different biomass sources and its application to soil.
