“…The metabolites resulting from their transformations must also be considered, sometimes more dangerous than the starting compounds (Daughton, 2005;Libralato et al, 2020;Reyes et al, 2021). Being anthropogenic contaminants, they are found in all spheres of our planet and even in food, accumulating and biomagnifying in food chains (Krishnakumar et al, 2022;Das et al, 2023;Li et al, 2023). Events that affect the human species such as climate change and the recent pandemic affect the increase in its presence, for example, antidepressant drugs and other EPs (Castillo-Zacarías et al, 2021;Picó & Barceló, 2023).…”

Organic micropollutants (OMPs), also called pollutants of emerging concern in certain circumstances, encompass a large group of chemical substances of natural or anthropogenic origin that, due to their molecular characteristics, present risks to human health. These include, among other chemicals, personal care products, food additives, flame retardants, and pharmaceuticals. In the light of the literature on the subject, the presence of OMPs in the different environmental compartments is addressed: air, water and soil. Results of the determinations, by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, of the concentrations of a large group of OMPs in the atmospheric particulate matter of the city of Puebla, river water, irrigation water and groundwater from the Nexapa river basin, Puebla and in Colombian soils are presented. In these environmental matrices the concentrations were in the ppb to ppt range.
