Abstract

Anthropogenic pollutants get into the environment not only with untreated sewage but can also migrate with treated municipal sewage. Examples of such contaminants are UV filters (BP-3, EHS, EHMC, OC), synthetic volatile fragrances (AHTN, HHCB), and microplastics. In the case of these pollutants, it is necessary to intensify the treatment of municipal wastewater and introduce pre-Treatment or additional wastewater treatment; constant monitoring of concentrations in surface and marine waters, sediments, and tissues of aquatic organisms; assessment of transformations and interactions with other pollutants in seawater and assessment of changes in conditions unfavorable for their degradation. The seas and oceans are the dumps where these pollutants eventually get it.
