This book presents the most salient developments and recent advances in the field of analytical chemistry for a more accurate and reliable identification and monitoring at trace level of organic pollutants, including metabolites and TPs, in the environment. All environmental compartments are considered, from air, to aquatic biota. Besides, strategies to cope with the big data generated through the increasing applicability of multidimensional separations and high resolution detection techniques are presented. Practical applications and specific case studies are included for a deeper understanding of the novelty that brings about new challenges and new solutions.

Topics Covered include: Sample collection; Sample preparation: extraction and purification; Instrumental analysis, Big data handling; Case studies; and Conclusions and future research trends
