Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The increasing evidence of chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) in water bodies is
causing major concern around the world because of their toxicological effects upon humans
and aquatic organisms. The release of wastewater to the aquatic environment is most likely
to introduce some trace levels of organic contaminants, some of which may be toxic,
carcinogenic, or endocrine disruptors, as well as, persistent in the environment. These
compounds are often persistent but not regularly monitored because they are mostly still
excluded from environmental legislation. Their fate and persistence in the environment are
not well understood
