Fate of Emerging Contaminants in Diverse Ecosystems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examine the fate of emerging contaminants including pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals across diverse ecosystems, assessing how these substances persist, transform, and accumulate in the environment while posing increasing ecological and human health risks globally.
Emerging contaminants (ECs), encompassing pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, and nanomaterials, have garnered increasing global attention due to their pervasive presence and potential ecological and human health...

Ecological Impacts of Emerging Pollutants in the Event of Climate Change
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined how climate change amplifies the ecological impacts of emerging pollutants including microplastics, nanomaterials, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals by altering environmental transport, bioavailability, and organism vulnerability. The intersection of plastic pollution and climate stress creates compounding threats to ecosystem resilience and human health that cannot be adequately addressed by either issue in isolation.
