description The presence of xenobiotics - such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds and pesticides - in the aquatic environment has risen great environmental concern due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations. These so-called micropollutants have been detected in all aquatic compartments and are continuously entering the environment through via point and non-point sources. In particular, the removal of xenobiotics by means of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is known to be incomplete for several compounds, and more efforts are needed in this context. To tackle this problem, the European Union is updating its legislation. The Directive 2013/39/EU set environmental quality standards in freshwater for 76 priority substances, mainly heavy metals, traditional pesticides and industrial chemicals. With regards of the contaminants of emerging concern, 17 candidates for inclusion in the priority substances list have been included in a Watch list (EU Decision 2015/495). These compounds must be monitored by all member states to collect data on their occurrence in freshwater. Risk assessment will be performed as a decision-making tool to determine whether they pose a risk to or via the aquatic environment. This thesis aims at filling knowledge gaps on micropollutants and in particular on the Watch list compounds at three levels simultaneously: analytical, monitoring and removal possibilities.

Aquests compostos, anomenats microcontaminants, s'han detectat en tots els compartiments aquàtics i entren al medi de manera continuada a través de fonts puntuals i no puntuals. En particular, se sap que l'eliminació de xenobiòtics en les plantes de tractament d'aigües residuals (EDAR) és incompleta i calen més esforços en aquest context. Per a solucionar aquest problema, la Unió Europea està actualitzant la seva legislació. La Directiva 2013/39 / UE va establir normes de qualitat ambiental en aigua dolça per a 76 substàncies prioritàries, principalment metalls pesants, pesticides tradicionals i productes químics industrials. Pel que fa als contaminants emergents, 17 compostos candidats a ser afegits a la llista de substàncies prioritàries han estat inclosos en una llista de vigilància (Watch list) (Decisió UE 2015/495). Aquests compostos han de ser monitoritzats per tots els estats membres per a recopilar dades sobre la seva presència en aigua dolça. Es durà a terme l’anàlisi de risc com a eina de presa de decisions per determinar si representen un risc per o a través del medi aquàtic. Aquesta tesi té com a objectiu principal omplir els buits de coneixement sobre microcontaminants i, en particular, sobre els compostos de la Watch list a tres nivells: anàlisi, monitorització i eliminació.Programa de Doctorat en Ciència i Tecnologia de l'AiguaUniversitat de GironaPetrovic, M.
