A number of chemicals found in pharmaceuticals and personal care products find their way into waste streams and are becoming contaminants of emerging concern. This Citizen Science research project aims to develop an educational and training-based framework to facilitate citizen monitors to investigate the prevalence of contaminants of emerging concerns in aquatic environments. The project researchers are working collaboratively with the Statewide Lake Assessment Program in New York to recruit and train citizens to participate in on-site monitoring a class of chemicals found on the list of contaminants. The team is also exploring how participation in the citizen science project enhances citizen understanding and engagement with local water quality problems, and the project provides interdisciplinary training and education for citizens and undergraduate and graduate students as well as with other forms of outreach activitiesThis research project integrates citizen science into contaminants of emerging concern research in order to collect needed data on the occurrence of these contaminants in New York lakes. This research offers two important insights into citizen science research: 1) answering how established citizen science water-monitoring programs can be scaled up to integrate more challenging forms of data collection and analysis, as in the case of contaminants of emerging concerns, and, 2) a scalable framework for citizen-based contaminant monitoring that can be adopted by other water quality monitoring programs. Overall, this project not only collects vital information on contaminants of emerging concerns but also creates a monitoring methodology that can be used widely to improve lake and watershed management. Results of contaminants of emerging concerns monitoring and risk assessment are being communicated to citizen monitors and project partners in a timely manner to promote effective participation and enable knowledge sharing.

药品和个人护理产品中发现的许多化学物质都进入了废物流，并正在成为新兴关注的污染物。 该公民科学研究项目旨在开发一个基于教育和培训的框架，以促进公民监视器，以调查水生环境中新兴关注的污染物的流行。 该项目研究人员正在与纽约州全州湖评估计划合作，招募和培训公民参加现场监测污染物清单上的一类化学物质。 该团队还正在探索参与公民科学项目如何增强公民对当地水质问题的理解和参与，并且该项目为公民，本科生和研究生以及其他形式的外展活动项目提供了跨学科的培训和教育，并将公民研究集成到新兴的污染物中，将公民科学纳入了这些污染物中，以收集这些新约克的研究范围。这项研究为公民科学研究提供了两个重要的见解：1）回答建立的公民科学水监测计划如何扩展以整合更具挑战性的数据收集和分析形式，例如在新兴问题的污染物中，以及2）2）可扩展的基于公民污染物的污染物监控的框架，该框架可以通过其他水质监控程序采用，该框架可以采用其他水质监控。总体而言，该项目不仅收集了有关新兴问题污染物的重要信息，而且还创建了一种监测方法，可以广泛用于改善湖泊和分水岭的管理。及时向公民监视和项目合作伙伴传达了新兴问题污染物的结果，以促进有效的参与并实现知识共享。
