“…Other compounds such as pesticides are introduced directly into the environment. Thus, runoff and leachate from agricultural but also urban areas can lead to high micropollutant concentrations in surface and ground waters (Loos et al 2009;Masoner et al 2014;Kuzmanović et al 2015;Szocs et al 2017;Lee et al 2019). These mixtures of organic micropollutants may pose a risk to environmental organisms, reduce biodiversity, and affect drinking water quality and environmental services (Alpizar et al 2019; European Environment Agency 2019).…”

Organic micropollutants of anthropogenic origin in river waters may impair aquatic ecosystem health and drinking water quality. To evaluate micropollutant fate and turnover on a catchment scale, information on input source characteristics as well as spatial and temporal variability is required. The influence of tributaries from agricultural and urban areas and the input of wastewater were investigated by grab and Lagrangian sampling under base flow conditions within a 7.7‐km‐long stretch of the Ammer River (southwest Germany) using target screening for 83 organic micropollutants and 4 in vitro bioassays with environmentally relevant modes of action. In total, 9 pesticides and transformation products, 13 pharmaceuticals, and 6 industrial and household chemicals were detected. Further, aryl hydrocarbon receptor induction, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor activity, estrogenicity, and oxidative stress response were measured in the river. The vast majority of the compounds and mixture effects were introduced by the effluent of a wastewater‐treatment plant, which contributed 50% of the total flow rate of the river on the sampling day. The tributaries contributed little to the overall load of organic micropollutants and mixture effects because of their relatively low discharge but showed a different chemical and toxicological pattern from the Ammer River, though a comparison to effect‐based trigger values pointed toward unacceptable surface water quality in the main stem and in some of the tributaries. Chemical analysis and in vitro bioassays covered different windows of analyte properties but reflected the same picture. Environ Toxicol Chem 2020;39:1382–1391. © 2020 The Authors.

“…Hong, Lee, Lee, and Kim (2019) developed an online SPEpreconcentration method coupled to LC-MS/MS to quantify and mass balance 52 pharmaceuticals in the influent, effluent, and receiving waters of two WWTPs. Modified online SPE columns prevented clogging and from the non-target interferences usually present in wastewater samples.…”

“…TBD was detected at both catchments at concentrations ranging between the analytical detection limit and 0.05 µg/L. Lee et al (2019) investigated the occurrence and distribution of 44 compounds including seven anthelmintic compounds (albendazole (ABZ), FLU, FBZ, and its metabolites oxfendazole sulfone (FBZ-SO2), and oxfendazole (OFZ), praziquantel (PZQ), and TBD) in groundwater in rural agricultural and non-agricultural areas in South Korea. Anthelmintic compounds were detected only in agricultural groundwater.…”

A review of 79 papers published in 2019 is presented. The topics ranged from detailed descriptions of analytical methods, to fate and occurrence studies, to ecological effects and sampling techniques for a wide variety of emerging contaminants likely to occur in agricultural environments. New methods and studies on veterinary pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, anthelmintics, and engineered nanomaterials in agricultural environments continue to expand our knowledge base on the occurrence and potential impacts of these compounds. This review is divided into the following sections: Introduction, Analytical Methods, Antibiotics in Agroecosystems, Pharmaceutical Fate and Occurrence, Anthelmintics and Engineered Nanomaterials.

Groundwater pollution is a result of natural and anthropogenic activities. While the elevated levels of various inorganic constituents could be attributed to natural processes, such as geological weathering and aquifer characteristics, many times, anthropogenic activities also substantially pollute the groundwater. On the contrary, the occurrence of organic pollutants is primarily due to various anthropogenic activities. Extensive groundwater mining, the hydraulic connection between groundwater and other surface water bodies, and leaking underground buried infrastructure also contribute to groundwater pollution. Water resources are scarce commodities, and preserving groundwater quality is of critical concern. This paper documents instances of groundwater quality impact during the year 2019 due to both natural and anthropogenic activities throughout the world.
