title: Selectivity of solid-phase extraction phases in the determination of biodegradation products.
abstract: The extraction techniques connected with gas chromatography were used to describe quantitatively and qualitatively the biodegradation process. We investigated the biodegradation of hydrocarbons and non-ionic surfactants. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid-liquid extraction were used for the isolation of the non-degraded compounds and their degradation products. The selectivity of SPE has a significant influence on the isolation and preconcentration of organic compounds from water.
