These include disinfectants, fragrances, insect repellents, preservatives and UV filters, among others. Some of them are considered chemicals of emerging concern due to their presence and negative impact on aquatic ecosystems, specially related to endocrine disruption and reproductive disorders. The entry of those chemicals to water bodies occurs mainly through the sewage effluents from wastewater treatment plants due to their incomplete or inefficient removal. The purpose of this review was to collect and analyze data about the incidence and concentrations of PCPs reported as emerging pollutants in different water matrices, including wastewater influents and effluents. Our database is composed of 141 articles with information about 72 PCPs recorded as emerging pollutants in 30 countries, in concentrations ranging from 0.029 ng/L to 7.811 × 106 ng/L. Fragrances, antiseptics and sunscreens were the most reported groups. As expected, the largest number of PCPs documented as emerging pollutants were found in wastewater treatment plant effluents with a total of 64 compounds, compared to 43 in surface water and 23 in groundwater, which evidence the anthropological contribution of PCPs to water bodies. These molecules were found in all the continents, however, there is a lack of information regarding the presence of emerging pollutants from PCPs in developing countries. Therefore, we suggest further efforts in assessing the occurrence and concentrations of these chemicals in those areas. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/review10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.03.286Aquatic environmentEmerging pollutantEndocrine disrupting chemicalsPCPsWastewaterAquatic ecosystemsChemicalsDeveloping countriesEndocrine disruptersFiltrationGround waterGroundwater pollutionOdorsSewageSewage pumping plantsSewage treatment plantsSurface watersToxicityWastewaterWastewater treatmentWater treatment plantsAquatic environmentsEmerging pollutantsEndocrine disrupting chemicalsPCPsPersonal care productsReproductive disordersWastewater treatment plant effluentWastewater treatment plantsEffluentsAntiinfective agentChemicals and drugsDiethyltoluamideDisinfectant agentFragranceGalaxolideGround waterInsect repellentMethyl parabenOxybenzonePersonal care productPreservativeSunscreenSurface waterTriclocarbanTriclosanUnclassified drugCosmeticConcentration (composition)Developing worldEeffluentEndocrine disruptorPollution incidencePollution monitoringPPCPWastewaterWater qualityWater resourceChemical analysisEffluentEnvironmental impact assessmentReviewSludgeSpainUnited StatesWaste water managementWater contaminationWater pollutionWater supplyAnalysisEnvironmental monitoringSewageWaste waterWater pollutantWater supplyHexapodaCosmeticsEnvironmental monitoringSewageWaste waterWater Pollutants, ChemicalWater resourcesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB556700240005719385509957193857478
