“…Melwani and colleagues studied methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in the three black bass species (Largemouth, Spotted, and Smallmouth Bass) in 21 Californian reservoirs over a two-year period (Melwani et al, 2019). Land-use statics, reservoir morphometry, water quality (pH, chlorophyll a, organic carbon, sulfate, dissolved oxygen, temperature), MeHg concentrations in sediment and water, total mercury concentration in sediment, and multivariate statistical modeling were used to conclude-(a) there were no reductions in MeHg concentrations in California reservoirs over past 20 years, and (b) concentrations of MeHg in bass species were correlated with total mercury in sediment, in surface water, and forested area.…”

A review of the literature published in 2019 on topics associated with the fate of environmental pollutants is presented. Environmental pollutants covered include pharmaceuticals, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes, pesticides and veterinary medicines, personal care products and emerging pollutants, PFAS, microplastics, nanomaterials, heavy metals and radionuclides, nutrients, pathogens and indicator organisms, and oil and hydrocarbons. For each pollutant, the occurrence in the environment and/ or their fate in engineered as well as natural systems in matrices including water, soil, wastewater, stormwater, runoff, and/or manure is presented based on the published literature. The review includes current developments in understanding pollutants in natural and engineered systems, and relevant physico-chemical processes, as well as biological processes.
