“…A couple of recent general reviews have considered emerging contaminants in sludge samples [15] and aquatic ecosystems [16]. Martín-Pozo et al recently provided a general overview of methodologies used to determine emerging contaminants in sewage sludge [15]. Here we present a holistic collection and critical review of all methodologies described to date that have been used for the determination of PPCPs throughout in sewage sludge.…”

“…Focusing on the past six years after the last review published in 2012 (used as a reference for the present review) [14], 273 papers were identified, 67 of which deal explicitly with the determination of PPCPs in sewage sludge samples. A couple of recent general reviews have considered emerging contaminants in sludge samples [15] and aquatic ecosystems [16]. Martín-Pozo et al recently provided a general overview of methodologies used to determine emerging contaminants in sewage sludge [15].…”

“…Salthammer (2020) reviewed the emerging indoor pollutants and pointed out that the application of classical interior analytics combined with human biomonitoring could be able to detect CECs promptly considering their highly dynamic. Martin-Pozo et al (2019) provided a review of the determination of CECs in wastewater sludge samples. Capodaglio (2019) discussed the state of the art of high-energy oxidation-reduction processes for water purification and wastewater treatment, which could play an important role in future strategies addressing CECs.…”

The present work provides a review focusing on contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic environment, with an emphasis on their occurrence, monitoring, fate, and risk assessment in the research published in the scientific literature in 2019. Several studies revealed that these organic contaminants were detected in many water bodies and suspect, nontarget, and target screening provided an efficient detection for the co-existing organic substances with complex components. Wastewater resource recovery facilities were concurrently considered as a central source, and several specific chemicals have been found to be used as chemical markers to track the source of CECs in some urban watersheds. Reliable monitoring, reliable fate/toxicity assessment, and effective removal that consider CECs as a heterogeneous group rather than single substances will be the challenges for the research community in the future.

“…This group of compounds comprise human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, personal care products, surfactants, plasticizers, and various industrial additives, among others, being the exposure to these substances linked to adverse effects on human health and animals. Their occurrence in different environmental compartments, such as biosolids, effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), soil and vegetables is well-documented (Martín-Pozo et al, 2019;Snow et al, 2019). In contrast, studies on ECs levels in cereals are still scarce in the available literature and were mainly focused in the determination of a reduced number of bisphenols and parabens to evaluate the exposure to these compounds through the diet in Sweden, China, Canada, or the United States (Cao et al, 2011;Gyllenhammar et al, 2012;Kannan, 2013, 2014;Liao et al, 2013a,b).…”

Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Cereals by Gas Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Cereals are staple foods for human consumption in both developed and developing countries. In order to improve agricultural outputs, resources like reclaimed water for irrigation and biosolids and manure as fertilizers are frequently used, although they may increase the input of contaminants that can potentially be absorbed by crops and enter the food chain. Emerging contaminants (human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, personal care products, surfactants, plasticizers, and industrial additives, among others) are continuously introduced in the environment from a variety sources and these contaminants may enter the food chain through plant uptake. In this study, an analytical method, based on ultrasound-assisted extraction and dispersive solid-phase cleanup, was developed for the determination of emerging contaminants from different classes in four highly consumed cereal grains (wheat, oat, barley, and rice). These analytes were selected considering the results of our previous studies carried out in soil and vegetables and those frequently detected in real samples were chosen. The target compounds selected were bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), methyl paraben, propyl paraben, linear chain nonylphenol in position 4 (4-n-NP), mixture of ring and chain isomers of NP and six pharmaceutical compounds (allopurinol, mefenamic acid, carbamazepine, paracetamol, diclofenac and ibuprofen). Recoveries ranging from 68 to 119% with relative standard deviations (RSD) < 18% were obtained for all the compounds except for allopurinol, with recoveries that ranged from 30 to 66% with RSD ≤ 12% and the limits of detection achieved ranged from 0.03 to 4.9 ng/g. The method was applied to the analysis of 16 cereal samples, ten were purchased in local supermarkets and the rest were collected directly from agricultural fields, five of which were fertilized with organic amendments. Bisphenol A (BPA) was detected in all samples at levels that ranged from 1.6 to 1,742 ng/g. Bisphenol F, a substitute for BPA, was also found in six samples (up to 22 ng/g). Linear 4-n-NP was found in a reduced number of samples but the mixture of NP isomers was found in all the samples, being the mean concentrations in wheat, barley, oat and rice 49, 90, 142, and 184 ng/g, respectively.
