Abstract The concentrations of 7selected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the Huangpu River were determined by solid phase extraction and high liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that the developed analytical method obtained good recoveries (87~107%), relative standard deviation (<14%) and limit of quantification (0.1~1.1ng/L), satisfying the requirement to detect micropollutants in the surface water. By applying the method in Huangpu River, we found that compared to other reported studies, the contamination levels of target PPCPs were low in Huangpu River, with the concentrations varying from
