ABSTRACT
Analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography, hyphenated with different detection systems are the methods of election to study the multiform aspects of environmental analysis.
Due to the continuous progress of studies concerning the effects brought by the different anthropological activities to humans and environment, environmental analysis is undergoing continuous evolution. Always increasing is the number of the species to be controlled and of the aspects to be considered to safeguard health. Environmental chemical analysis is concerned with the identication and the determination of different micropollutants. To reach this aim, all the processes and the effects that favor diffusion in the environment and the bioavailability of the pollutants and of their potential metabolites must also be considered.
