摘要：The presence of organic pollutants such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment, and especially in regions where fish farms are installed, is a matter of major importance due to their possible risks to ecosystems and public health. The necessity of their detection leads to the development of sensitive, reliable, economical and environmentally friendly analytical methods for controlling their residue in various environmental substrates. In the present work, a solid-phase extraction method was developed, optimized and validated for the analysis of 7 pesticides and 25 pharmaceuticals in seawater using LC-HR-LTQ/Orbitrap-MS. The method was then applied in seawater samples collected from an aquaculture farm located in the Ionian Sea, Greece, in order to evaluate environmental pollution levels. None of the pesticides were detected, while paracetamol was the only pharmaceutical compound that was found (at trace levels). At the same time, passive sampling was conducted as an alternative screening technique, showing the presence of contaminants that were not detected with spot sampling. Among them, irgarol was detected and as far as pharmaceuticals is concerned, trimethoprim and sulfadiazine were found; however, all positive findings were at the very low ppt levels posing no threat to the aquatic environment.
