    Active pharmaceutical ingredients in Malaysian drinking water: consumption, exposure, and human health risk
    (Springer, 2020) Sze Yee Wee; Didi Erwandi Mohamad Haron; Ahmad Zaharin Aris; Fatimah Md. Yusoff; Sarva Mangala Praveena
    Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are typical endocrine disruptors found in common pharmaceuticals and personal care products, which are frequently detected in aquatic environments, especially surface water treated for drinking. However, current treatment technologies are inefficient for removing emerging endocrine disruptors, leading to the potential contamination of tap water. This study employed an optimized analytical method comprising solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (SPE–LC–MS/MS) to detect APIs in tap water in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

    Occurrence of endocrine disrupting compounds in mariculture sediment of Pulau Kukup, Johor, Malaysia
    (Elsevier, 2020) Nur Afifah Hanun Ismail; Sze Yee Wee; Didi Erwandi Mohamad Haron; Nitty Hirawaty Kamarulzaman; Ahmad Zaharin Arisa
    Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as hormones, pesticides, phenolic compounds, and pharmaceuticals compounds can cause adverse effects on humans, animals, and other living organisms. One of the largest mariculture areas situated in Pulau Kukup, Johor, Malaysia, is actively involved in exporting marine fish to other countries worldwide. This paper aims to provide baseline data on the level of EDC pollutants found in mariculture sediments in Malaysia since no reports have investigated this issue.
