| Description: |
Scientists have launched a monitoring project in the Chesapeake Bay designed to survey the magnitude and distribution of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). CECs, such as current-use pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and other chemicals associated with human activities, can enter the environment and cause degraded water quality as well as toxic effects in wildlife and humans.
