<p>The fate and transport of emerging contaminants in aquatic environments is a complex process, which is not only determined by their own properties but can also be influenced by the surrounding environment. In this study, a comprehensive modelling framework coupling a 3D hydrodynamic--emerging contaminants module was developed to describe the fate and transport of two representative emerging contaminants, namely Bisphenol A (BPA) and N, N-diethyltoluamide (DEET) in a tropical reservoir. First, the model was calibrated and validated with BPA and DEET obtained from a historical dataset (2013-2014) in bulk water, suspended solids, pore water and sediments phase. Results revealed that the simulation performance gave “excellent simulation” results with skill scores all larger than 0.90. Subsequently, the ecological risk assessment for the reservoir was conducted using the trophic state index (TSI) and coupled species sensitivity distribution (SSD)-Risk Quotient (RQ) method. The RQ values of the study area ranged from 0.003-0.068 (BPA) and 0.001-0.014 (DEET), respectively, which suggests that the levels of studied compounds BPA and DEET may pose low risk to the aquatic ecosystem. Finally, the indirect influence of general water quality parameters such as nutrients (phosphorous) on the multi-compartment distributions of emerging contaminants was explored. Our approach lays down a comprehensive framework to better understand the dynamics of fate and transport and their potential ecological risks of emerging contaminants as well as the indirect impact of other water quality parameters on their distributions in different phases in aquatic ecosystems.</p>

A study was conducted to evaluate the water quality parameters of pond water at Mymensingh Urban region. The water samples were collected from 30 ponds located at Mymensingh Urban Region during August to October 2010. The chemical analyses of water samples included pH, EC, Na, K, Ca, S, Mn and As were done by standard methods. The chemical properties in pond water were found pH 6.68 to 7.14, EC 227 to 700 ?Scm-1, Na 15.57 to 36.00 ppm, K 3.83 to 16.16 ppm, Ca 2.01 to 7.29 ppm, S 1.61 to 4.67 ppm, Mn 0.33 to 0.684 ppm and As 0.0011 to 0.0059 ppm. The pH values of water samples revealed that water samples were acidic to slightly alkaline in nature. The EC value revealed that water samples were medium salinity except one sample and also good for irrigation. According to drinking water standard Mn toxicity was detected in pond water. Considering Na, Ca and S ions pond water was safe for irrigation and aquaculture. In case of K ion, all the samples were suitable for irrigation but unsuitable for aquaculture.J. Environ.

Monitoring of environmental factors allows the achievement of some important objectives regarding water quality, forecasting, warning and intervention. The aim of this paper is to investigate water quality parameters in some potential pollutant sources from northern, southern and east-southern areas of Romania. Surface water quality data for some selected chemical parameters were collected and analyzed at different points from March to May 2017.
