Abstract(s)
Some chemical substances have the potential to enter the coastal and marine environment
and cause adverse effects on ecosystems, biodiversity and human health. For a large majority of them,
their fate and effects are poorly understood as well as their use still unregulated. Finding effective and
sustainable strategies for the identification of these emerging and/or anthropogenic contaminants
that might cause polluting effects in marine environments to mitigate their adverse effects, is of
utmost importance and a great challenge for managers, regulators and researchers. In this review we
will evaluate the impact of emerging contaminants (ECs) on marine coastal zones namely in their
ecosystems and biodiversity, highlighting the potential risks of organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals
and personal care products. Emerging microextraction techniques and high-resolution analytical
platforms used in isolation, identification and quantification of ECs will be also reviewed.
