Impact/Purpose:
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are being detected with increasing frequency in aquatic systems associated with municipal effluent. APIs considered a Contaminant of Emerging Concern (CEC) -Little, if any, regulation considering aquatic systems -Effects on aquatic organisms are unknown for the great majority of APIs
