Abstract

Emerging contaminants are a problem affecting national water bodies and may be contributing to increased health and environmental problems. There have been attempts to eliminate them in different ways and this paper seeks to provide a social context on the different emerging contaminants found in water bodies around the world and to report on these attempts at cleanup through scientific research.
