Popis: Introduction: Water pollution with antibiotics plays a key role in the formation and spread of antibiotic resistance, which threatens humanity and the environment as a whole.Aim: The purpose of our work was to develop a method for determining azithromycin in wastewater and surface water using the thin-layer chromatography method.Materials and Methods: The developed technique was tested in the wastewater of Zolochiv district of Kharkiv region.Results and Discussion: Using conventional analytical scales and universal chromatography in thin layers of a sorbent, it is possible to identify azithromycin with a water concentration of ≥ 30 µg/mL without complex and expensive equipment, such as HPLC or LC/MS/MS. The results showed that the concentration of azithromycin is less than 30 µg/mL.
