DESCRIPTION
The presence of trace emerging pollutants in aquatic environments poses a significant challenge to the health of ecosystems and human populations. These pollutants, which include persistent organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, can exert adverse effects even at extremely low concentrations. The complex nature of these contaminants, coupled with their low abundance, makes their detection and quantification a daunting task.
