Description:
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), which are not well characterized, are increasingly detected in seafood, drinking water, surface water and groundwater, posing risks to aquatic and terrestrial life. CECs include, but are not limited to: pharmaceuticals, personal care and household cleaning products, industrial chemicals (e.g., per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)), lawn care and agricultural products, and microfibers. While several federal and state entities are addressing some aspects of CECs, no one entity has full jurisdiction, and Congress has directed Sea Grant to invest in CECs. The National Sea Grant Office competed funds to develop this national framework to guide Sea Grant’s investments in the field of CECs. The funded project’s effort included an extensive literature review, a national survey, and a series of virtual regional workshops, with participation from federal and state agencies, Sea Grant staff, academia, environmental NGOs, the private sector, and interested citizens. The high-level conclusions of the scoping process follow.
