Abstract

Will assess the influence of dissolved and colloidal organic matter (DOM and COM) on standard practices of EDC/PPCP extraction from water and subsequent analysis (detection and quantification) using liquid and gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Will determine the effects of various watershed DOM/COM sources and constituent fractions on EDC/PPCP detection and quantification.
