“…In previous research on emerging organic contaminants, different authors include different ranges of compounds and classified them differently (Lapworth et al, 2012;Mahler and Musgrove, 2019; Bunting et al, 2021). This is partly because the status of a compound as 'emerging' is regionally dependant and may change with time, thus newer studies may include compounds that were classified as 'emerging' many years ago.…”

“…Selected EOCs are now beginning to be included more widely within some national monitoring plans (Glassmeyer et al, 2017;Bunting et al, 2021), a recent example being the introduction of a Groundwater Watch list in Europe (Lapworth et al, 2019). However, as this review has shown, even in karst, which are amongst the most vulnerable groundwater systems, there are relatively few studies that have been undertaken on EOCs.…”

A quarter of the world's population uses groundwater from karst aquifers. A range of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) are considered a potential threat to water resources and dependant ecosystems, and karst aquifers are the most vulnerable groundwater systems to anthropogenic pollution. This paper provides the first global compilation (based on 50 studies) of EOCs in karst aquifers and explores EOC occurrence and the use of EOCs to understand karst systems. Of the 144 compounds detected in the reviewed studies, the vast majority in karst groundwater are pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Maximum concentrations of compounds varied over five orders of magnitude, and nearly half of the detected compounds exceed 100 ng/L. Karst groundwater is shown to have lower frequency of detection and lower concentrations compared to surface waters and local shallow intergranular aquifers, but overall higher concentrations compared to other major aquifer types. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the utility of EOCs and some legacy compounds for groundwater quality assessment and as tracers for characterising karst systems. They can improve understanding of vulnerability, storage, attenuation mechanisms, and in some cases have been used to assist with catchment delineation. This is a growing research area for karst hydrogeology, and more research is needed to understand EOC contamination of karst aquifers, and to develop EOCs as tracers within karst to improve our understanding of this critical water resource.

“…In these ways, contaminant concentrations could be attenuated below the detection limits [61]. A considerable amount of pollutants are released from sewer leakages into the sewershed's groundwater [65]. EDCs as pesticides reach the soil from rainwater or irrigation water washing and then they can infiltrate into ground and surface waters [61].…”

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as emerging contaminants have accumulated in the aquatic environment at concentration levels that have been determined to be significant to humans and animals. Several compounds belong to this family, from natural substances (hormones such as estrone, 17β-estradiol, and estriol) to synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and plastic-derived compounds (phthalates, bisphenol A). In this review, we discuss recent works regarding EDC occurrence in the aquatic compartment, strengths and limitations of current analytical methods used for their detection, treatment technologies for their removal from water, and the health issues that they can trigger in humans. Nowadays, many EDCs have been identified in significant amounts in different water matrices including drinking water, thus increasing the possibility of entering the food chain. Several studies correlate human exposure to high concentrations of EDCs with serious effects such as infertility, thyroid dysfunction, early puberty, endometriosis, diabetes, and obesity. Although our intention is not to explain all disorders related to EDCs exposure, this review aims to guide future research towards a deeper knowledge of EDCs’ contamination and accumulation in water, highlighting their toxicity and exposure risks to humans.

“…Например, получена информация о повреждениях наследственного материала у разных организмов под воздействием разных концентраций кофеина [24], однако установлено его генопротекторное действие в эксперименте с Salmonella typhimurium [25]. Так как кофеин продолжает оста-ваться одним из популярных пищевых продуктов среди населения всего мира [26], широко встречается как загрязнитель в природе [27] и может влиять на развитие некоторых заболеваний [28], исследования его действия на организм человека должны оставаться одним из приоритетных направлений.…”

Relevance. The consumption of caffeine-containing food in the modern world must necessarily be safe for humans, including should not affect the hereditary material of the body. Objective: to determine the possible effect of caffeine at the cytogenetic level by the micronucleus method on erythrocytes. Materials and Methods. The objects for the study were non-linear mice, which were divided into 6 groups - one control group and 5 experimental groups. The first experimental group and the second in the experiment received caffeine in doses of 40 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg.The control group received saline. Caffeine was administered orally. The mutagen (dioxidine) was injected intraperitoneally. On the 5th day of the experimental study, we performed blood sampling for cytogenetic analysis. Results and Discussion. Our study of the caffeine preparation made it possible to determine the following patterns. Firstly, when administered within 5 days, caffeine at a dose of 40 and 100 mg/kg did not cause an increase in the number of micronuclei in erythrocytes in mice. Secondly, the combined use of caffeine (both at a dose of 40mg/kgand at a dose of 100 mg / kg) and dioxidine significantly increased the level of micronuclei in comparison with the control group. Thirdly, caffeine at a dose of 40mg/kgdid not increase the mutagenic activity of dioxidine, but a dose of caffeine of 100mg/kgwhen combined with a mutagen led to a significant increase in the level of cytogenetic damage. Conclusion. According to our data, caffeine in the experimental study was not a mutagen, but at a dose of 100 mg/kg it represented a comutagenic effect.
