“…The urban samples present more diversity and quantity of pollutants, as is seen on the heatmap (Fig. 2) Some of the organic contaminants were identi ed on the leaf surface of both individuals and can be related to the pollutant transport (Zalakeviciute et al, 2018; Rahman et al, 2022), such as butylated hydroxytoluene (17) which is widely used in packaging industries (Babich, 1982). There are four industries of this type near 2km of the individual EU1, and none near the EU2 individual, and this might be the cause of the highest concentration on EU1.…”

“…Comparison of the GC-MS spectra of the analyzed samples with data from the NIST107 and NIST21 libraries and the calculation of the retention index of the compounds with the standard of the homologous series C 8 -C 22 allowed the identi cation of thirty-one compounds (Table 1), whose are recognized as TrOCs (17) were identi ed in leaves from both areas (urban and preserved forest) and the different periods/seasons of the year. The other TrOCs showed a direct relationship with the region where the plants were grown and/or with the period/season of the year the leaves were collected.…”

The organic pollutants promote significant risks to both human health and environmental sustainability. These compounds have seen a dramatic increase in diversity and quantity, infiltrating bodies of water, marine environments, and living organisms. Some factors contribute to pollutant emissions, such as road traffic and industrial activities and it leads to an spatiotemporal variability. Between the organic pollutants, Trace Organic Contaminants (TrOCs), which comprise a diverse range of industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical residues, and pesticides, are also gaining attention for their toxic effects on aquatic organisms and plants. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the occurrence of TrOCs deposited in Eugenia uniflora leaves from urban areas and preserved forests during the four seasons of the year. The identification of emerging trace organic contaminants were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. This analysis allowed us to identify TrOCs and some of them related to endocrine disorders. These TrOCs differed depending on the region and season of the year in which the leaves were collected, and they were present even in plants cultivated in preserved forests.

“…Synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) are widely used as fragrances in personal care products such as body lotions, deodorants, and hair products and in household products such as laundry detergent and fabric softener. − As a result, SMCs are ubiquitous in the environment and have been found in various environmental media such as ambient air, , water, , sediments, wastewater, sludge, aquatic biota, and humans. , While SMCs are produced to replace the expensive natural musks, SMCs are not structurally or chemically similar to the natural ones . SMCs are semivolatile chemicals with physical-chemical properties similar to some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) …”

The high environmental concentrations, persistence, and toxicity of synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) necessitate a better grasp of their fate in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To investigate the importance of WWTPs as pathways of SMCs to the environment, air and wastewater samples were collected at four WWTPs in Ontario, Canada. Polycyclic musks (PCMs) were present at higher concentrations than nitro musks (NMs) and macrocyclic musks (MCMs). Three PCMs [galaxolide (HHCB), tonalide (AHTN), and iso-E super (OTNE)] were the most abundant compounds (0.30−680 ng/ m 3 in air, 0.40−15 μg/L in influent, and 0.007−6.0 μg/L in effluent). Analyses of multiyear data suggest that risk management measures put in place have been effective in reducing the release of many SMCs into the environment. The highest removal efficiency, up to almost 100% of some SMCs, was observed for the plant with the longest solid retention time. A fugacity-based model was established to simulate the transport and fate of SMCs in the WWTP, and good agreement was obtained between the measured and modeled values. These findings indicate that the levels of certain SMCs discharged into the atmospheric and aquatic environments were substantial, potentially resulting in exposure to both humans and wildlife.
