Contaminants of Emerging Concern
Contaminants of emerging concern, or CECs, can be broadly defined as chemicals that have been recently detected in the environment and that may pose public health or ecological risks. CECs encompass a wide variety of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and household chemicals. Many CECs differ from conventional environmental contaminants such as pesticides, metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (P...

متن کاملContaminants of emerging concern in a large temperate estuary.
This study was designed to assess the occurrence and concentrations of a broad range of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from three local estuaries within a large estuarine ecosystem. In addition to effluent from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), we sampled water and whole-body juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Pacific staghorn sculpin (Leptocottus armatus) in ...
متن کاملContaminants of Emerging Concern: From the Detection to Their Effects on Human Health
In the past years with the advance of analytical instrumen-tation/methods, some chemicals are being discovered in water and other environmental matrices that previously had not been noticed or are being detected at levels that may be diverse more than expected. These are often generally referred to as " contaminants of emerging concern " because the potential risk to human health and the enviro...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Soil Contaminants
Many industrial and other human activities resulted in a widespread contamination of soils with various contaminants. Most of these contaminants are toxic to humans and animals . They reach humans and animals through migration into the atmosphere, groundwater and crops I. The pollution became especially disturbing in the past few decades, when the awareness of thi s problem resulted in the enor...
