Article Synopsis
- Anthropogenic chemicals are found in aquatic environments, and Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) are poorly understood and mostly unregulated substances that may pose biological risks.
- Identifying and prioritizing CECs is challenging due to limited ecotoxicological data, but in vitro studies and various biological response measures can help establish potential impacts.
- In an urban estuary study, 215 CECs were detected, with 57 classified as High Priority (likely harmful) and 84 as Watch List (potentially harmful), demonstrating a comprehensive approach to monitoring and assessing these contaminants in similar environments.
