Analytical Challenges in the Ecotoxicology of Emerging Environmental Pollutants
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics have been identified as one of the most significant emerging environmental pollutants alongside pharmaceuticals, requiring new ecotoxicological frameworks to assess their combined effects on ecosystems. The analytical complexity of detecting and characterizing microplastics in environmental and biological samples continues to hinder accurate risk assessments.
Among the wide variety of chemicals that are nowadays classified as new emerging pollutants, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and ionic liquids have received special attention in this chapter. The latter should be more specifically named potential future environmental...
