| Description | Many persistent organic pollutants (POPs) consist of chiral compounds. Chiral pollutants are generally released into the environment as racemates, but frequently undergo an alternation in enantiomeric compositions as soon as they are subjected to life chemistry processes. Enantiospecific analysis of chiral POPs is important since enantiomers of chiral compound often exhibit differences in biological activity due to stereospecific biochemical processes in nature. Different toxic effects of individual enantiomers are observed as well. Developing of new methods and improving of common methods of separation and determination is required. Comparison of retention behaviour of selected chiral pollutants in different chromatographic condition is presented in this paper. |
