Emerging Contaminants 

TL;DR: A review of the current state-of-the-art on PPCPs in the freshwater aquatic environment is presented in this article, where the environmental risk posed by these contaminants is evaluated in light of the persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity criteria.

TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of frequently detected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the aquatic environment may pose potential threat to the ecosystem and human health, hence PPCPs have aroused much concern over the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the main threats to human health from heavy metals are associated with exposure to lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic, and measures should be taken to reduce arsenic exposure in the general population in order to minimize the risk of adverse health effects.

TL;DR: The occurrence of 28 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) was investigated in 17 surface water samples (rivers, canals, and lagoons), 12 groundwater samples (wells and boreholes, which can also be consumed for drinking) and 8 drinking water samples during dry and rainy seasons in Lagos state, Nigeria as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive dataset exists for long-term trends of long-chain PFCAs that have been reported in Arctic biota with some datasets including archived samples from the 1970s and 1980s.
