Bioanalytical results of EDA of contaminated sediment from the wastewater canal (WWC) in Pančevo industrial area, Serbia. The columns represent micro-EROD-derived TCDD equivalent concentrations (TCDD-EQ) of different fractions of the sediment from three different spots along the WWC (WWC1-WWC3). The 18 fractions were prepared by pressurised liquid extraction and accelerated membrane-assisted cleanup, followed by an automated multistep online fractionation procedure on three coupled normal phase HPLC columns. Each fraction contains different types of contaminants depending on their polarity, planarity and the of aromatic system, and the most active ones have been prioritised for further analysis aimed to identification and quantification of key pollutants |From [36], with permission)
