Abstract

Nove onečišćujuće tvari u vodama su kemijski spojevi čija je prisutnost u vodama tek otkrivena ili je tek otkriven njihov štetan utjecaj na ljudsko zdravlje i okoliš. Sadržane su u proizvodima koji se svakodnevno koriste, a radi manjka istraživanja i znanja o njima, ne postoji mnogo zakonskih regulativa. To sve doprinosi njihovoj širokoj prisutnosti. Glavni izvor novih onečišćujućih tvari u vodama su postrojenja za pročišćavanje otpadnih voda s konvencionalnim obradama koja su nedovoljno prilagođena za uklanjanje novih onečišćujućih tvari što rezultira njihovim ispuštanjem u okoliš. U ovom radu definirane su nove onečišćujuće tvari i njihovi izvori. Kao glavni izvor novih onečišćujućih tvari u vodi, istaknute su otpadne vode i navedene su neke od naprednih fizikalno-kemijskih i bioloških obrada. U preglednom dijelu pobliže su objašnjeni endokrini disruptori i antibiotici, te njihovi štetni utjecaji na zdravlje ljudi i okoliš.

Abstract (english)

Emerging contaminants in water are chemical compounds whose presence in water has just been discovered or whose adverse effect on human health and environment has just been discovered. They are contained in products that are used on a daily basis, and due to lack of research and knowledge about them, there are not many legal regulations. That contributes to their ubiquitous presence. The main source of emerging contaminants in water are wastewater treatment plants with conventional treatments that are inadequate to remove emerging contaminants, resulting in their release into the environment. In this paper, emerging contaminants and their sources are defined. Wastewater is highlighted as the main source of emerging pollutants in water and some of the advanced physico-chemical and biological treatments are listed. In the review section, endocrine disruptors and antibiotics are explained in more detail, as well as their harmful effects on human health and the environment.
