Danger to the water ecosystem of phenol and its derivatives

Phenol and its derivatives are the main pollutants for the aquatic ecosystem. These compounds are discharged from various areas into water bodies and affect their flora and fauna. We analyzed the waters taken from the petrochemical plant (Baku) and analyzed their composition. The main purpose of the work was to determine the presence and amount of phenolic compounds in wastewater after treatment. To obtain accurate results, the composition of water samples was analyzed using a gas chromatographic mass detector. Organic and inorganic C and N atoms were also determined in water samples taken for analysis
