Humans use a large variety of chemicals in their everyday activities (medications, personal care products, etc.) which become part of the wastewater stream. Many of these chemicals are classified as “emerging contaminants” due to their recent recognition as potential contaminants in various ecosystems. This series explores method development, assessment, monitoring, fate and transport, impacts on ecosystems and natural resources, and treatment of these emerging contaminants.
