“…Since the long-term impacts of ECs are unknown, regulators have been working towards establishing water quality criteria for ECs to protect aquatic life and human health. However, regulators have encountered several challenges to establishing water quality criteria for ECs, such as a lack of standardized analytical procedures, toxicology information required to determine safe concentration levels that will protect human health and aquatic life, and effective monitoring strategies to detect how ECs affect marine environments on a temporal scale [38].…”

Historically, Southern California’s four largest publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) were major sources of contaminants in the Southern California Bight (SCB), home to over 22 million residents and diverse marine life. This study conducted a fifty-year review (1971–2020) to assess these facilities’ performance in protecting human and aquatic life. We analyzed effluent discharge flow, total annual mass emissions into SCB, and the rate of change of mass emissions in five ten-year timeframes. Results show a significant decrease in contaminant concentrations (43% to 99%) from 1971 to 2020, with most reaching historically low levels. Despite a growing population, effluent volume decreased by 23%, reflecting successful local water conservation and recycling efforts. Some constituents experienced temporary increases that later decreased. Overall, the decline in mass emissions for all constituents over fifty years highlights the POTWs’ efforts to treat effluent and reduce their impact on the SCB’s ecosystem.

“…Its denomination is diverse: if its action on organisms is considered, endocrine disrupting compounds and carcinogenic substances are considered; based on their recent detection, attention and/or lack of regulation they are known as emerging pollutants or pollutants of emerging concern (EPs); Since they are found at a trace level in the environment, they are also called organic micropollutants, OMPs, a denomination to which this work adheres. The metabolites resulting from their transformations must also be considered, sometimes more dangerous than the starting compounds (Daughton, 2005;Libralato et al, 2020;Reyes et al, 2021). Being anthropogenic contaminants, they are found in all spheres of our planet and even in food, accumulating and biomagnifying in food chains (Krishnakumar et al, 2022;Das et al, 2023;Li et al, 2023).…”

Organic micropollutants (OMPs), also called pollutants of emerging concern in certain circumstances, encompass a large group of chemical substances of natural or anthropogenic origin that, due to their molecular characteristics, present risks to human health. These include, among other chemicals, personal care products, food additives, flame retardants, and pharmaceuticals. In the light of the literature on the subject, the presence of OMPs in the different environmental compartments is addressed: air, water and soil. Results of the determinations, by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, of the concentrations of a large group of OMPs in the atmospheric particulate matter of the city of Puebla, river water, irrigation water and groundwater from the Nexapa river basin, Puebla and in Colombian soils are presented. In these environmental matrices the concentrations were in the ppb to ppt range.
