Emerging contaminants (ECs), unregulated contaminants that are incompletely degraded during wastewater treatment, cause negative impacts on human and ecological health. The objective of this study is to evaluate the occurrence of ECs in vernal pools affected by treated wastewater. Two monitoring techniques, Polar Organic Carbon Integrative Sampling membranes and weekly grab samples were employed. A Campbell Scientific Data Logger was deployed at each pool. Findings from this study informs on monitoring techniques of ECs.
