| Abstract: | Gadolinium-based contrast agents are worldly used for medical magnetic resonance imaging and are an emerging contaminant in natural waters. We investigated the dissolved fraction of Gd in coastal waters from Fortaleza city and observe positive Gd anomalies in the wastewater outfall area as well as in two local river estuaries indicating that the city is a significant source of anthropogenic Gd (Gdanth) to the ocean. Based on this synoptic study and on the conservative behavior of Gdanth we trace a highly concentrated sewage-based source which accounts for 2200 pmol kg |
