abstract = {A significant number of emerging pollutants (EPs) resulting
from point and diffuse pollution is present in the aquatic
environment. These are chemicals that are not commonly
monitored but have the potential to enter the environment
and cause adverse ecological and human health effects.
According to the NORMAN network, at least 700 substances
categorized into 20 classes, have been identified in the
European aquatic environment. In light of their potential
impact action is urgently required.In this study, we present
a concept that shows the current state of art and challenges
for monitoring programs, fate and risk assessment tools and
requirements for policies with respect to emerging
pollutants as a base for sustainable water resource
management.Currently, methods for sampling and analysis are
not harmonized, being typically focused on certain EP
classes. For a number of known highly hazardous EPs
detection limits are too high to allow proper risk
assessment. For other EPs such as microplastics method
development is in its infancy. Advanced ultra-sensitive
instrumental techniques should be used for quantitative
determination of prioritized EPs in water, suspended matter,
soil and biota. Data on EPs' and their metabolites'
properties that determine their fate in the environment are
often not available. National surveys on water quality often
use different parameters for water quality assessment and
often do not include EPs. A harmonized monitoring of surface
and groundwater is not yet achieved and urgently required.
Specific component integrated into models assessing the fate
of EPs in a multi compartment environmental approach are
missing and must be developed.The main goal of risk
assessment is the overall protection of ecological
communities in the aquatic environment and human health. New
methods for assessing the cumulative risks from combined
exposures to several stressors, including mixtures of EPs in
a multi-scale approach are required.A combination of
regulations and management measures with respect to
use/emissions of EPs into the environment, as well as to
their occurrence in the environment are fundamental to reach
an efficient water resource management.},
