Climate change, biodiversity loss, and chemical pollution are planetary‐scale emergencies
requiring urgent mitigation actions. As these “triple crises” are deeply interlinked, they need …

Knowledge of the hazards and associated risks from chemicals discharged to the
environment has grown considerably over the past 40 years. This improving awareness …

Though concerns about the proliferation of synthetic chemicals–including pesticides–gave
rise to the modern environmental movement in the early 1960s, synthetic chemical pollution …

Much progress has been made in the past few decades in understanding the sources,
transport, fate, and biological effects of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic …

Our capacity to predict trajectories of ecosystem degradation and recovery is limited,
especially when impairments are caused by multiple stressors. Recovery may be fast or …

There is an ongoing unprecedented loss in insects, both in terms of richness and biomass.
The usage of pesticides, especially neonicotinoid insecticides, has been widely suggested …

Toxic substances in the environment generate adverse effects at all levels of biological
organization from the molecular level to community and ecosystem. Given this complexity, it …

The high levels of microplastics (MPs) found in freshwaters, particularly in riverine
sediments, may impose a threat to the macroinvertebrate communities with possible …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play an important role in retaining organic matter and
nutrients but to a lesser extent micropollutants. Therefore, treated wastewater is recognized …

Predicting ecological effects of contaminants remains challenging because of the sheer
number of chemicals and their ambiguous role in biodiversity-ecosystem function …
