CECs – "Do You Know Me?"

Contaminants of Emerging Concern, or CECs, are chemical compounds frequently used by industry, agriculture, and consumers alike. These persistent, mostly unregulated “micropollutants” have been found in soils, sediments, and sludge; as well as natural, effluent, and drinking waters. Therefore, CECs may disrupt not only various ecosystems within the natural environment, but may also pose serious risks to human health.
