Emerging Organic Contaminants in Groundwater
Emerging organic contaminants (ECs) are compounds now being found in groundwater from agricultural, urban sources that were previously not detectable, or thought to be significant. ECs include pesticides and degradates, pharmaceuticals, industrial compounds, personal care products, fragrances, water treatment byproducts, flame retardants and surfactants, as well as ‘life-style’ compounds such a...
متن کاملInclusion of emerging organic contaminants in groundwater monitoring plans
Groundwater is essential for human life and its protection is a goal for the European policies. All the anthropogenic activities could impact on water quality. •Conventional pollutants and more than 700 emerging pollutants, resulting from point and diffuse source contamination, threat the aquatic ecosystem.•Policy-makers and scientists will have to cooperate to create an initial groundwater eme...
متن کاملAnalysis of organic contaminants in New Zealand marine mammals
1. Chlorinated organic contaminants were analysed in samples of blubber collected from New Zealand's Hector's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori ) and dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus ). 2. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were detected in all samples analysed. Total PCB concentrations measured in these samples were lower than those detected in cetaceans from other countries. 3. Po...
متن کاملChlorinated organic contaminants in breast milk of New Zealand women.
Breast milk samples from 38 women in New Zealand were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) as part of a World Health Organization collaborative study of breast-milk contaminants. The women were recruited from two urban areas (Auckland and Christchurch) and two rural areas (N...
متن کاملEmerging organic contaminants in groundwater: A review of sources, fate and occurrence.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) detected in groundwater may have adverse effects on human health and aquatic ecosystems. This paper reviews the existing occurrence data in groundwater for a range of EOCs including pharmaceutical, personal care, 'life-style' and selected industrial compounds. The main sources and pathways for organic EOCs in groundwater are reviewed, with occurrence data fo...
