TL;DR: Overall, these findings indicate that PECs may well be appropriate for prioritization of pharmaceuticals in the environment when robust and local data on the system of interest are available and reflective of most source inputs.

TL;DR: A 1.5-year field-scale study was initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey to evaluate the dissipation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) following a first agronomic biosolids application to nonirrigated farmland.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a solution to solve the problem of the problem: this paper...,.. ].. ).. )... ;.

TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began a study to determine the occurrence of selected pharmaceuticals in treated effluent discharged upstream of drinking-water intakes, in raw drinking water, and in finished drinking water in the upper Chattahoochee River watershed in Metropolitan Atlanta as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This pioneering study will help shape future monitoring efforts in California's coastal ecosystems, while serving as a model for monitoring CECs within the region and across the nation.
