Complex and diverse contaminants
Micropollutants include pharmaceuticals, pesticides, hormones, and industrial chemicals—each requiring specific detection and treatment strategies.
Low concentration, high impact
Even in minute quantities, micropollutants can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and accumulate in the food chain, making early detection critical.
Regulatory pressure and public awareness
Tightening regulations and rising public concern demand proactive monitoring and transparent communication.
Technological and financial constraints
Advanced treatment technologies can be costly and complex to implement, especially for smaller communities or facilities.
