Sažetak
Pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) present in freshwaters originate mostly from wastewater and can be bioaccumulated in aquatic insects in their aquatic life stages. With emergence of aquatic insects, these compounds are transferred to terrestrial food webs posing a threat to their terrestrial predators. Results of our in situ studies confirmed bioaccumulation of multiple PhACs and EDCs and their transfer across the aquatic-terrestrial ecosystem border. Furthermore, our research provides new insights on taxa- and compound-specific bioaccumulation patterns, as well as novel information on lateral extend of waterborne contaminants in the riparian zone.
