Presence of Some Commonly used Pharmaceutical Residues in Seawater and Net Plankton: a Case Study of Spitsbergen, Svalbard Archipelago
The occurrence of eleven pharmaceutical compounds in the surface seawater and plankton samples from Spitsbergen, Svalbard Archipelago, were investigated. The target compounds included diclofenac, fenoprofen, ketoprofen, ibuprofen, naproxen, carbamazepine, clofibric acid, gemfibrozil, estrone, 17β-es...
