What is it about?
The theme of this article is about the presence and potential risks posed by newly identified synthetic chemicals, known as emerging contaminants (ECs), in water sources like surface water, groundwater, and wastewater. These chemicals come from various sources such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and personal care products. The article highlights how these contaminants can harm both ecosystems and human health even at very low levels. Researchers are studying where these contaminants come from, what happens to them in the environment (fate), how they move around (transport), to develop better ways to treat them for future protection of our environment and health.
