Abstract
- Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are broad-spectrum disinfectants used in a range of everyday materials. Their high usage rates, limited regulation and reporting has meant their environmental release is largely uncontrolled and impact unknown. With links to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and adsorption to wastewater solids (that are recycled), there is a need for more controlled disposal measures and monitoring. These environmental matrices are highly complex requiring methods that are often laborious and costly to undertake. Using a robust quantitative reversed-phase LC-MS/MS method, we have shown that an ‘off the shelf’ QuEChERS product can reliably extract (
