Summary:
With increasing frequency countries and organizations are faced with chemicals that have not been considered as ‘contaminants’ before. Some of these chemicals
could be a potential risk to humans and/or the environment. These are the so-called ‘emerging contaminants’. Characteristic for emerging contaminants is
