Sažetak
The global occurrence of numerous novel organic and inorganic substances in the environment has raised concern about their potential negative effects on the environment and human health. Many world countries, especially the “developed” ones, have recognized these substances as contaminants of emerging concern. The emerging contaminants (ECs) in environment can be more or less persistent, which depends on their chemistry, as well as on the environment conditions. In addition, the persistence might depend on applied treatments prior the discharge into the environment as well. Degradation/transformation of ECs might result with (by)products that are even more dangerous for the environment than the original molecules. Therefore, the origin, fate, behavior, and characterization of the ECs in the environment, as well as the related risk assessment and remediation modes, all have an increased attention of scientific community for some time. This presentation will provide an insight in the problem of ECs in the environment. Pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and plastics (especially micro- or nano-sized one) will be especially discussed since these ECs are currently in the focus of scientific community. The authors will present benefits and deficiencies of actual approaches applied for risk assessment. Finally, an overview of strategies and current approaches for remediation of contaminated environment will be provided.
