Cover Story: The occurrence of transformation products (TPs) of emerging pollutants has been of potential concern in aquatic environments. Nonetheless, it is unclear how TPs are formed and affect organisms in aquatic ecosystem. Thanking to recent advances in analytics and biotechnology, identification of TPs and their formation mechanisms can be explored by non-target screening (NTS) using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and in vivo/vitro bioassay using model organisms. In this review, recent progress in TP research including their exposure and effect assessments is summarized. In particular, the review covers prospective research efforts on TP, such as identification of the products using NTS, and assessment of potential risk. View this paper
