Article Synopsis
- Benzotriazoles (BTR) and bisphenols (BP) are common artificial contaminants that were investigated in urban runoff in Iceland, which is typically considered very clean.
- The study involved collecting water samples from seven locations along Iceland's Ring Road in February 2023 and August 2024 to evaluate levels of these contaminants using advanced extraction and detection methods.
- Results showed that all locations had detectable levels of BTRs and BPs, with the highest concentrations found in early samples, highlighting the need for monitoring these emerging contaminants in even the least polluted environments.
Occurrence and sources of hormones in water resources-environmental and health impact.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
June 2024
Within recent years, hormones have become emergent contaminants in the water environment. They easily accumulate in living organisms which in effect leads to numerous health problems (endocrine-disrupting mechanism is one of the most known toxic effects). Microbial resistance to antibiotics also became one of the emergent issues related to hormone presence.
