Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs): Occurrence and Fate in Aquatic Ecosystems
- occurrence of CECs in the aquatic environment;
- measurement techniques to investigate CECs;
- integration of multiple stressors with CEC exposure in aquatic systems;
- lethal and sublethal effects of CECs on aquatic organisms;
- complexity of mixtures of CECs in the aquatic environment;
- trophic consequences of CEC exposure across aquatic food webs;
- duration of CEC exposure within and across generations in aquatic species;
- pressure caused by antibiotic and other antimicrobial agents on the acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance in the aquatic environment;
- plastics, microplastics and nanoplastics;
- CECs in wastewater;
- remediation technologies involved in the treatment and removal of pollutants;
- emerging pathogens for aquatic organisms and public health.
