Potential Sources of Emerging Environmental Pollutants: Fate of EPs in Environment (Soil, Water, and Air)
Summary
Agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and urbanization are driving emerging pollutants—including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS—into soil, water, and air, with their environmental persistence making them increasingly difficult to contain or remediate. Mapping the sources and fate of these contaminants is essential for designing regulatory frameworks and cleanup strategies before they accumulate further in food crops, drinking water, and human bodies.
Numerous emerging pollutants (EPs) have entered the environment as a result of recent decades’ intense agricultural practices, fast industrialization, and urbanization. Pharmaceuticals, personal care items, microplastics, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...
