Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) are chemicals and toxic waste that are found in water bodies that are not currently monitored or regulated. They enter the ecosystem through multiple channels.
However, they are not completely removed by waste water treatment plants. Eventually, the CECs enter the water bodies and bioaccumulate before entering the food chain.
