At present, approximately 100 000 anthropogenic chemicals are in daily use and new chemicals are frequently developed. Some of these chemicals are released into the environment during their lifecycle. Currently, only a small fraction of chemicals that are present in the environment is monitored creating a so-called "tip of the iceberg" problem. Not all the chemicals that are present in the environment cause harmful effects and the challenge is to identify those chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. This problem is well demonstrated related to water pollution and water quality monitoring. For example, wastewater effluents contain a complex mixture of chemicals, including emerging contaminants such as hormones and ph...
