Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Virtual Issues | First published: 21 August 2020 | Last updated: 20 August 2020

Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) is a term used to describe pollutants that have been detected in the aquatic environment that may cause ecological or human health impacts. Despite advancements, significant obstacles still prevent comprehensive assessments of the environmental risks associated with the presence of CECs. This virtual issue brings together a selection of SETAC journals papers whose authors have CECs at the forefront of their research priorities.

The world population is aging and there is a higher prevalence of cancer and therefore, antineoplastic drugs. These drugs are a challenge for wastewater treatment plants and are present in the environment. The prevalence and biological impacts of antineoplastics in aquatic systems are summarized in the present review.
