Current extraction procedure has been validated for the analysis of 49 targeted
compounds. Table 2 showed the performance data for these 49 PPCPs.
Quantitative Determination of PPCPs in Biosolids Samples
Quantitative determination of targeted PPCPs in biosolids are shown in Table 3. Five
compounds, i.e., bisphenol A, caffeine, CBZ, TCC and TCS, were found in all six samples
at the high ppb range.
