Original Abstract

Synthetic musk compounds are artifical organic compounds with a smell similar to that of a natural musk. The most recently used and also the least studied group of synthetic musk represents linear and macrocyclic musk compounds. Due to their widespread applications they enter aquatic ecosystem, where they could show negative effects owing their persistence. There has been a big focus on studying of these compounds, their properties and fate in different environmental compartments in the last years. The first part was focused on the analysis of twelve linear musk compounds (linalool, 2-cyclohexylethanol, fresco menthe, citronellol, HSA, isobornyl acetate, arocet, aroflorone, allyl cyclohexyl propionate, lilial, isoamyl salicylate and hexylcinnamin aldehyde) in waste water. The second part was focused to analysis of five macrocyclic compounds (habanolide, exaltolide, ambrettolide, musk MC4 and ethylene brassylate) in waste water. The linear musk compound were taken from three different waste water treatment plant (WWTP Brno-Modřice, WWTP Luhačovice and WWTP Hodonín). The macrocyclic musk compound were taken from WWTP Brno-Modřice, WWTP Lednice and WWTP Mikulov. In both cases, Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) was used for the extraction of analytes. Gas chromatography-mass spectometry (GC/MS) was then employed for identification and quantification of target compounds.
