TLDR
This study covered a series of emerging pollutants of different classes, including pharmaceuticals, neutral and acidic organophosphorus flame retardant/plasticizers (OPs), triclosan, phenoxy-herbicides, insect repellents and UV filters, which were carried out on wastewater, surface and drinking water on the NW area of Spain during the four seasons of a year period.About:

TL;DR: The present study shows that the release of OPs from a wide variety of commercial products and wastewater discharge might be considered as primary emission sources and that high potential of long-range atmospheric transport and persistence of OP would be responsible for their presence in various matrices on a global scale.

Bisphenol A, nonylphenols, benzophenones, and benzotriazoles in soils, groundwater, surface water, sediments, and food: a review
TL;DR: This work summarizes the information available in the literature about the incidence and behavior of these compounds in the different environmental matrices and food and focuses on the physical-chemical properties, the environmental fate, the major degradation byproducts, and the environmental evidence of the selected CECs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, fate and transformation of emerging contaminants in water : an overarching review of the field
TL;DR: An overarching review of the field with focus on the occurrence, transformation and fate of emerging contaminants, factors affecting contaminant fate, association with plastic micro-/nanoparticles and photochemical transformation are comprehensively evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of acidic pharmaceuticals and personal care products in Turia River Basin: from waste to drinking water.
TL;DR: The occurrence at trace levels of several PPCPs in drinking water raises concerns about possible implications for human health.

TL;DR: Oxybenzone poses a hazard to coral reef conservation and threatens the resiliency of coral reefs to climate change, and is a skeletal endocrine disruptor to corals.

Water Analysis: Emerging Contaminants and Current Issues
Journal ArticleDOI
The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters.
TL;DR: Treated wastewater effluents were the main contributors to PPCPs concentrations in the rivers studied, and the effect of WWTP effluent on the quality of river water is significant and cannot be underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbamazepine and diclofenac: removal in wastewater treatment plants and occurrence in water bodies.
TL;DR: The ecotoxicological studies of both drugs imply that they do not easily cause acute toxic effects at their environmental concentrations, however their chronic effects need cautious attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and removal of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors in South Korean surface, drinking, and waste waters.
TL;DR: Conventional drinking water treatment methods were relatively inefficient for contaminant removal, while efficient removal was achieved by granular activated carbon (GAC).In wastewater treatment processes, membrane bioreactors showed limited target compound removal, but were effective at eliminating hormones and some pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: This study provides the first documentation that many of the organic wastewater-related contaminants that represent a diverse group of extensively used chemicals can survive conventional water-treatment processes and occur in potable-water supplies.
