Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how wastewater spray-irrigation affects the presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in vernal pools, specifically focusing on the effectiveness of grab sampling versus Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampling (POCIS) techniques in measuring these contaminants.
- - Results show that POCIS detected a broader range of ECs over longer periods, while grab sampling was more effective for capturing short-term, high concentrations associated with irrigation events.
- - This research sheds light on the risks of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the environment and helps inform better monitoring methods for assessing ECs in ecosystems influenced by treated wastewater.
