If this sounds straight out of a science fiction series, you may be shocked that this is closer to reality than you imagine. In the past decade, emerging contaminants have surfaced as an environmental hazard, posing a threat to both the ecosystem and humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that they are present in very low concentrations makes it difficult to detect them. But the fact remains that despite their low concentrations the impact of emerging contaminants on public health as well as the environment, is a matter of grave concern. In this blog, we investigate some of the emerging contaminants threatening our water treatment systems as well as ways to tackle them effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/48r8sie\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1666 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DrinkPrime-Indias-smartest-water-purifier-1-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"DrinkPrime India's smartest water purifier\" width=\"600\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DrinkPrime-Indias-smartest-water-purifier-1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DrinkPrime-Indias-smartest-water-purifier-1-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DrinkPrime-Indias-smartest-water-purifier-1-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DrinkPrime-Indias-smartest-water-purifier-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #6e7191;color:#6e7191\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #6e7191;color:#6e7191\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/tackling-emerging-contaminants-in-drinking-water\/#What_are_the_recent_emerging_contaminants\" title=\"What are the recent emerging contaminants?\">What are the recent emerging contaminants?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/tackling-emerging-contaminants-in-drinking-water\/#Emerging_contaminants_in_water\" title=\"Emerging contaminants in water\">Emerging contaminants in water<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/tackling-emerging-contaminants-in-drinking-water\/#1_Pesticides\" title=\"1.

In the past decade or so, a category of contaminants listed as emerging contaminants has been posing a threat to our drinking water systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emerging contaminants in water are any synthetic or naturally occurring pollutants like chemicals or microorganisms that are not usually listed as contaminants or monitored but have the potential to adversely impact the environment or human health. Pharmaceuticals, personal care products, fire retardants, pesticides, etc. are some of the categories of emerging contaminants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are known to disrupt the physiology of the target receptors. For instance, many of them have been slated as endocrine disruptive compounds that adversely affect our endocrine systems,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contaminants present in aquatic systems are proving to be a major threat to the water distribution system. Traces of emerging contaminants like insecticides, personal care products, etc. have been found in groundwater, wastewater, surface water, etc. They enter through direct discharge of treated or wastewater from industrial or municipal plants, sewer overflow, surface runoff from agricultural lands, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emerging_contaminants_in_water\"><\/span><b>Emerging contaminants in water<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Pesticides\"><\/span><b>1. Pesticides<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Widely used in farms and homes, herbicides and pesticides prove to be a boon to keep pesky bugs that destroy crops or plants at bay. But the problem occurs because when we spray them on plants these pesticides often end up getting washed away by rains into our lakes and rivers or they seep into groundwater. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, they end up in our water supply system. Every time we use personal care products like soap, detergents, etc. traces of these substances which are ultimately chemical in composition, enter our waterways turning into contaminants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Industrial_discharges_and_consumer_items\"><\/span><b>2.

These then become contaminants in water as they are not treated properly. In some cases, stormwater run-off washes these pollutants directly into local water bodies without any treatment, posing a severe threat to the environment as well as human health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Animal_husbandry\"><\/span><b>3. Animal husbandry<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary pharmaceutical products, especially in rural areas with farm animals, find their way to groundwater when rains wash them off fields, which are used for grazing or crop production with animals. It is reported that almost eighty percent of antibiotics admitted to livestock are excreted by animals either intact or as metabolites, making this an unexpected contaminant to pollute our water bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Fire_retardants\"><\/span><b>4.

Unfortunately, fire retardants when ingested through drinking water are dangerous for our health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Remove_Emerging_Contaminants\"><\/span><b>Ways to Remove Emerging Contaminants<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our traditional water treatment process is severely challenged by the slew of emerging contaminants. Traditional methods like chlorine and ozone while eliminating bacteria and viruses effectively, cannot deal with the newer variants of pollutants. The new contaminants often have very complex structures and properties that are resistant to the typical oxidative method that we used to employ earlier. So, we must employ enhanced methods of purification that are robust enough to eliminate emerging contaminants in drinking water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Here are some new treatment technologies to deal with emerging contaminants.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Activated_carbon_adsorption\"><\/span><b>1. Activated carbon adsorption<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a proven method for removing organic compounds and pollutants from water. It works like a sponge, soaking the unwanted elements and holding on to them. The simple design is highly efficient and the ease of operation makes this an efficient technique to deal with pollutants. Though activated carbon is the most widely used adsorbent, due to its highly porous surface area, and thermos stability for the removal of dyes and pharmaceutical products, etc. Other adsorbents like peat, silica gel, carbon nanotubes, etc. are also being used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Advanced_oxidation_process\"><\/span><b>2.

They generate hydroxyl (OH) or sulfate radicals for oxidation of emerging contaminants. Sometimes ozone and UV irradiation are also used. AOP can remove many toxic substances from water at one go, without producing any hazardous substances in the water. This is because OH is reduced to form H2O as a byproduct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Membrane_filtration\"><\/span><b>3.

This includes many types like microfiltration, nanofiltration, forward and <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkprime.in\/blog\/what-is-reverse-osmosis\/\">reverse osmosis<\/a>, etc. and they can reduce pollutants to a very large degree.
