Abstract(s)

A large variety of traditional contaminants including metals, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons and pesticides, and emerging compounds (pharmaceuticals, personal care products, plastics, and nanoparticles) are generally found in the marine environment. These compounds are of special concern due to their intensive use and threats they can cause to the aquatic environment and human health. Moreover, climate change can also have an additional impact on the effects of these compounds. Due to the complex nature of these stressors, a great deal of research has been carried out to develop the best analytical technologies for the detection of these compounds in the aquatic environment and for assessing their biological effects.
