Resumen
There are several organic contaminants present in the aquatic environment, even they are find at very low concentrations (ng/L level). The effluents of the waste-water treatment plants (WWTP) can be one of the main sources into the environment, since the mechanism used by the WWTP are not fully efective for the complete re-moval of the contaminants. Among them, some of them are classified as endocrine dis-rupting compounds (EDCs) and they can provoke endocrine alterations in the species habiting in the water even they are found at low concentrations. Malformations, a de-crease on the polulation or intersexuality are the most significant damages. Thus, the development of highly sensitive analytical methods for the extraction and clean-up of the water and biota samples is vital from an analytical point of view together with the accumulation capacity of the compounds in the different biota compartments.
