DESCRIPTION:Hollender\, Juliane (EAWAG)\nIn recent years the occurence of 
 polar organic micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals in wastewater\, surf
 ace water\, groundwater and finally drinking water has gained more and mor
 e attention. A broad spectrum of compounds with different properties can b
 e detected by powerful analytical instrumentation like liquid chromatograp
 hy coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. High resolution mass spectrometr
 y allows also for detection of unknowns such as transformation products fo
 rmed from the micropollutants. Adverse effects at environmental concentrat
 ion levels have been unambiguously shown only for a few micropollutants bu
 t the high number of compounds asks for new elimination strategies. Beside
 s prevention strategies at the source additional treatment steps such as o
 zonation or adsorption at activated carbon within the sewage treatment pro
 cess are currently investigated. Scope of the presentation is to give an o
 verview about origin and entry of polar micropollutants in the aquatic env
 ironment\, their environmental behaviour as well as their elimination in s
 ewage treatment plants equipped with different techniques.
