Wastewater is contaminated water that must be treated before it may be transferred into
other rivers and lakes in order to prevent further groundwater pollution. Over the last decade …

Microplastics are well known for vector transport of hydrophobic organic contaminants, and
there are growing concerns regarding their potential adverse effects on ecosystems and …

Because of their intrinsic potential to produce metabolic effects on the human body at
smaller concentrations, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a distinct …

In recent years, emerging contaminants (ECs) of high concern are broadly distributed
throughout the environmental matrices because of various industrial practices and …

Pharmaceuticals, which are frequently detected in natural and wastewater bodies as well as
drinking water have attracted considerable attention, because they do not readily …

Emerging pollutants (EPs) are chemicals known to cause major impacts on the terrestrial,
