Original Abstract

This study deals with determination of synthetic fragrances (musk compounds) in waste waters. These compounds are used as fragrant ingredients of detergents, perfumes, cosmetics and other personal care products (PCPs). Wastewaters represent the main source of environmental contamination by these compounds, because these substances are not removed in sewage treatment plants and pass subsequently to aquatic ecosystems, where they bioaccumulate in water biota and this way they enter the food chain. Some of these compounds show potential toxic effects.
