Event Details
Class Description:
Emerging Contaminants, or Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), is a term used by water quality professionals to describe pollutants that have been detected in water bodies, that may cause ecological or human health impacts, and typically are not regulated under current environmental laws. Sources of these pollutants include agriculture, urban runoff and ordinary household products (such as soaps and disinfectants) and pharmaceuticals that are disposed to sewage treatment plants and subsequently discharged to surface waters.
During this class we will be discussing Microplastics and PFAS.
