Abstract
Many different sources and pathways into groundwater: wastewater, biosolids from water treatment and animal wastes are important
Frequently detected groups of ECs include antimicrobials, lifestyle compounds, pharmaceuticals
Although mostly detected in low ng/L concentrations in groundwater there are many examples of hot spots
TPs can be found at concentrations higher than the parent and may be more mobile or polar, and more toxic
ECs can be typical of source/landuse
Some are recalcitrant during water treatment
Are starting to be regulated
