Which Micropollutants in Water Environments Deserve More Attention Globally?

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 56(1), P. 13 - 29

Published: Dec. 21, 2021

Increasing chemical pollution of aquatic environments is a growing concern with global relevance. A large number organic chemicals are termed as "micropollutants" due to their low concentrations, and long-term exposure micropollutants may pose considerable risks organisms human health. In recent decades, numerous treatment methods technologies have been proposed remove in water, typically several were chosen target pollutants evaluate removal efficiencies. However, it often unclear whether toxicity occurrence levels frequencies enable them contribute significantly the overall environments. This review intends answer an important lingering question: Which or class deserve more attention globally should be removed higher priority? Different risk-based prioritization approaches used address this question. The risk quotient (RQ) method was found feasible approach prioritize scale its relatively simple assessment procedure extensive use. total 83 case studies using RQ past decade compiled, 473 compounds that selected by screening 3466 three broad classes (pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, industrial chemicals) (RQ > 0.01). To determine importance, we propose surrogate, is, weighted average (WARQ). WARQ integrates intensity frequency achieve comprehensive priority determination. Through metadata analysis, recommend ranked list 53 micropollutants, including 36 PPCPs (e.g., sulfamethoxazole ibuprofen), seven pesticides heptachlor diazinon), 10 perfluorooctanesulfonic acid 4-nonylphenol) for management remediation efforts. One caveat importance does not consider transformation (including disinfection byproducts) new forms antibiotic resistance genes microplastics), directly applicable specific region country. Also, needs mentioning there might no best toward question, hopefully can act small step better answer.

A review of distribution and risk of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the aquatic environment in China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 213, P. 112044 - 112044

Published: Feb. 16, 2021

Due to the extensive use and pseudo-persistence of pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs), they are frequently detected in aqueous environment, which has attracted global attention. In this paper, accumulation data 81 PPCPs surface water or sediment China were reported. addition, 20 kinds with high frequency selected their ecological risk assessment was conducted by quotient (RQs). The results indicated that concentration ranged from ng/L (ng/kg) μg/L (μg/kg) China, similar concentrations reported globally. However, contamination certain PPCPs, such as caffeine, oxytetracycline, erythromycin, relatively a maximum more than 2000 water. RQs revealed 14 pose no significant low aquatic organisms, while 6 risk. Additionally, pollution characteristics each watershed different. Haihe River central lower Yangtze regions concern for erythromycin. Triclosan potential risks Pearl watershed. This study determined occurrence past decade, providing scientific basis control prevention.

Exploring the Impact of Contaminants of Emerging Concern on Fish and Invertebrates Physiology in the Mediterranean Sea

Biology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(6), P. 767 - 767

Published: May 24, 2023

In this historical context, the Mediterranean Sea faces an increasing threat from emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, heavy metals, pesticides and microplastics, which pose a serious risk to environment human health. regard, aquatic invertebrates fish are particularly vulnerable toxic effects of these pollutants, several species have been identified bio-indicators for their detection. Among these, bivalve molluscs elasmobranchs now widely used accurately assess contaminants. The study focuses on catshark Scyliorhinus canicular mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. first one is useful indicator localised contamination levels due its exposure that accumulate seabed. Moreover, it has high trophic position plays important role in ecosystem. mollusc galloprovincialis, other hand, being filter-feeding organism, can acquire bioaccumulate foreign particles present environment. Additionally, because also commercial interest, direct impact conclusion, presence issue requires immediate attention. Bivalve two examples must be precisely determine marine ecosystem

Biodiversity impacts by multiple anthropogenic stressors in Mediterranean coastal wetlands

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 818, P. 151712 - 151712

Published: Nov. 17, 2021

Mediterranean coastal wetlands are considered biodiversity hot-spots and contain a high number of endemic species. The these ecosystems is endangered by several pressures resulting from agricultural urban expansion, climate change, the alteration their hydrological cycle. In this study we assess state-of-the-art regarding impact stressor groups on (i.e., lagoons, marshes, estuaries). Particularly, describe impacts eutrophication, chemical pollution, invasive species, salinization, temperature rise, analyze existing literature multiple stressors ecosystems. Our denotes clear asymmetry both in terms areas evaluated. majority studies focus lagoons estuaries north-west parts basin, while African Asian coast have been less represented. Eutrophication pollution were most studied compared to others like rise or species invasions. Most evaluating individually show direct indirect effects primary producers invertebrate communities, changes dominance patterns that contribute decline populations. few available addressing interactions shown non-additive responses, which important define appropriate ecosystem management restoration measures. Finally, propose research needs advance our understanding anthropogenic guide future interventions protect biodiversity.
