Data on occurrence and ecotoxicological risk of emerging contaminants in Dinaric karst catchment of Jadro and Zrnovnica springs.

ABSTRACT: Karst catchments are valuable drinking water sources and fragile habitats to many endemic species. This dataset presents initial insights into the occurrence and ecotoxicological risk of 21 emerging contaminants (ECs) (including 11 pharmaceuticals, 4 lifestyle products, 2 personal care products, 3 agricultural and 1 industrial compound) detected in Dinaric karst catchment of Jadro and Žrnovnica springs in Croatia. Contaminants concentrations were determined with UHD Q-TOF LC/MS and UHP LC/MS in samples from two springs (Jadro and Žrnovnica), one river (Cetina), and a deep borehole (Gizdavac). Persistence (P), bioaccumulation (B), mobility (M) and toxicity (T) of detected ECs were assessed based on in silico strategy for PBT assessment and recently developed REACH PMT/vPvM guidelines
