Abstract
Emerging contaminants in groundwater are important. These have been studied at a range of scales. An increasing range of compounds is being detected
Urban areas show impact of sewage and industrial wastewater. Some ECs are probably no threat to drinking water at such µg/L concentrations, e.g. caffeine
Others may prove to be in the future. There is little information on their impact on other groundwater receptors in the environment. We are still far from understanding which of these compounds could be important.
