ABSTRACT
One of the unintended consequences of industrialization and urbanization is the global distribution of numerous chemicals throughout the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Many of these compounds are xenobiotics, that is, they are foreign to living organisms.1 In the vast majority of cases, xenobiotics are considered to be environmental pollutants. They can be hazardous both to various ecosystems and to humans. One of the main tasks of environmental analytical chemistry is the analysis of those compounds in the environment.
