Occurrence and fate of Cytostatics in the Sewage Treatment Process

Within the project "Occurrence and fate of cytostatics in the sewage treatment" a sensitive analytical method for selected cytostatics and their metabolites is under development. This method will be applied to determine the mass flow in hospitals as well as the evaluation of new sewage treatment processes.
