Abstract

The monitoring of dye byproducts are still a challenge for regulatory agencies. First, the route of synthesis of these contaminants is not always known which makes difficult to obtain analytical standards to assess their hazard and their concentrations in the aquatic environment. Second, byproducts are usually related to local problems, and industrial processes are always evolving generating continuous research.
