Abstract

The occurrence of emerging pollutants (EPs) is continuously reported worldwide. Nevertheless, only few of these compounds are toxicologically evaluated due to their vast numbers. Reliable analytical methods and toxicity assessment methods are the basis of either the management or the elimination of EPs. In this paper, literature published in 2018 on EPs were reviewed with special regard to their occurrence, detection methods, fate in the environment, and ecological toxicity assessment. Particular focus was placed on practical considerations, novel processes, and new solution strategies. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Literature published in 2018 on emerging pollutants were reviewed. This review article is with special regard to the occurrence, detection methods, fate and toxicity assessment of emerging pollutants. Particular focus was placed on practical considerations, novel processes and new solution strategies.
