Online monitoring of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the aquatic environment at high temporal resolution is an upcoming technique that provides insights into their dynamics and has the potential to bring water research and management to a new level. An online monitoring setup was developed to quantify OMPs in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent and effluent using automated and continuous sampling, sample preparation, online solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis and data evaluation. This online monitoring setup provided high selectivity and sensitivity (limit of quantification down to 1 ng/L) as well as a stable performance during one week of constant operation whilst using a high sampling frequency of 10 min (>1000 samples). Custom automated data evaluation enabled quantification within seconds after each measurement and results were comparable to those from a commercial software. Additionally, an alarm tool was included in the evaluation application, which automatically notified the user in case a substance exceeded a predefined threshold. The online monitoring setup was applied to WWTP influent and effluent, where 57 substances were monitored over a period of one week and two days, respectively. High temporal resolution enabled the observation of periodic patterns of pharmaceuticals as well as pollution by OMPs originating from point and diffuse sources, while dynamics of OMPs in WWTP effluent were less pronounced. These new insights into the dynamics of OMPs in WWTP influent, which would not be observable using 24 h composite samples, will be a starting point for new stormwater and wastewater research and management strategies. [Display omitted] • Online monitoring enabled a near to real-time detection of pollutants in wastewater. • Tailor-made data processing tool enabled automated evaluation and alarm generation. • Daily profiles expand understanding of the use of pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs. • Identification of urban runoff as diffuse source of organic micropollutants. • Monitoring at high temporal resolution hinted at pollution by point source.
