“…The country’s topography and tropical climate intensify agricultural runoff, which introduces ECs into aquatic ecosystems, disrupting the delicate balance between freshwater and marine ecosystems ( Lu, 2010 ; Lu et al, 2010 ). As the country’s socioeconomic landscape evolves with fast-growing urban centers, expanding population, and changing consumer habits, it faces a pressing environmental challenge from ECs such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers, pesticides, and artificial sweeteners ( Watanabe et al, 2016 ; Hoang et al, 2021 ; Mohd Nizam et al, 2023 ).…”

Emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, microplastics, and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, pose a major threat to both ecosystems and human health in Southeast Asia. As this region undergoes rapid industrialization and urbanization, the increasing presence of unconventional pollutants in water bodies, soil, and various organisms has become an alarming concern. This review comprehensively examines the environmental challenges posed by emerging contaminants in Southeast Asia and recent progress in toxicity testing methods. We discuss the diverse range of emerging contaminants found in Southeast Asia, shedding light on their causes and effects on ecosystems, and emphasize the need for robust toxicological testing methods. This review is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and environmental practitioners working to mitigate the impacts of emerging contaminants and secure a sustainable future for Southeast Asia.
