Emerging Contaminants: Emerging contaminants are newly recognized synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals or any microorganism that is not commonly monitored in the environment, but have the potential to enter the environment and cause known or suspected adverse ecological and (or) human health effects. These newly-recognized contaminants represent a shift from traditional regulatory programs because they are often dispersed throughout the environment via a variety of domestic, commercial and industrial uses. Responding to the detection of emerging contaminants in the environment is problematic because the detection methods, as well as the environmental health standards, are incompletely developed. In many cases, there is also a lack of understanding on the background environmental monitoring, source identification, fate and transport of the contaminants in air and water, and the potential impacts on human health and the environment.
