Abstract

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) discharged into the wastewater are persistent due to their continuous introduction into the environment. Recently, environmental pollution and the impacts of parabens have generated increased concern. Due to their antimicrobial and antifungal properties, parabens are a class of EDCs commonly used as preservatives. in cosmetic, personal care, food, and pharmaceutical applications. The widespread uses of parabens in a variety of applications have resulted in environmental contamination. As a result, the determination of parabens using an optimized solid phase extraction (SPE) clean up together with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments to analyze the concentrations of parabens in environmental matrices samples was successfully documented in this paper.
