Abstract
Concentration profiles of Personal Care Products (PCPs) in outdoor and indoor swimming pools are compared. The difference in the obtained chromatographs were observed. The quantitative analysis show that the frequency of occurrence and concentrations of two selected compounds (BZ-3 and BZ-8) from PCPs are higher in indoor swimming pools than in outdoor swimming pools. The obtained in this work results for swimming pools located in Poland differ from those received in Spain in previous work.
