Emerging Contaminants: Highly used unregulated compounds, often suspected of acting as endocrine disruptors
Include:Pesticides (2,4-D)
Pharmaceuticals (Fluoxetine)
Detergent Degradates (para-Nonylphenol)
Fragrances (AHTN)
Others (Triclosan, fire retardants)

Emerging Contaminants
• Poorly understood
• Have potential to affect fish reproduction
• May be accumulating in sludge
• Can be removed by advanced wastewater treatment
