Journal ArticleDOI
On-line solid-phase extraction of triazine herbicides using a molecularly imprinted polymer for selective sample enrichment.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the high selectivity of MIPs can be favorably used for selective sample enrichment in conjunction with reversed-phase HPLC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status of pharmaceuticals in African water bodies: Occurrence, removal and analytical methods
TL;DR: The overview of the recent studies published, mostly from 2012 to 2016, that have focused on the occurrence of different classes of pharmaceuticals in African aqueous systems are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital solid waste management practices in Limpopo Province, South Africa: a case study of two hospitals.
TL;DR: The shortcomings in the management practices of hospital solid waste in Limpopo Province of South Africa were studied by looking at two hospitals as case studies and revealed that there is no proper separation of wastes according to their classification as demanded by the national government.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of pharmaceuticals by plants grown under hydroponic conditions and natural occurring plant species: A review.
TL;DR: The work conducted on the uptake of pharmaceuticals belonging to different therapeutic groups such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, β-blockers and antiepileptics is reviewed and the advantages and drawbacks associated with the detection and uptake of these pharmaceuticals by plants are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac in aqueous samples using a multi-template molecularly imprinted polymer as selective adsorbent for solid-phase extraction.
TL;DR: This study describes the application of multi-template molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as selective sorbent in the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of naproxen, ibuprofen and diclofenac from wastewater and river water.
