The occurrence of emerging pollutants (EPs) is continuously reported worldwide. Nevertheless, only few of these compounds are toxicologically evaluated due to their vast numbers. Reliable analytical methods and toxicity assessment methods are the basis of either the management or the elimination of EPs. In this paper, literature published in 2018 on EPs were reviewed with special regard to their occurrence, detection methods, fate in the environment, and ecological toxicity assessment. Particular focus was placed on practical considerations, novel processes, and new solution strategies.Practitioner points

Emerging Pollutants-Part I: Occurrence, Fate, and Transport is a sequel of Emerging Pollutants (EPs). The aims of this paper is to collect the relevant literature published in 2016 worldwide and analyze the knowledge and technologies developed in the aspects of screening, monitoring, occurrence, transport, fate, environmental toxicity and management of EPs that are relevant to water and wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
