Dataset Abstract: 
	Anthropogenic substances, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, plasticizers, UV filters,
	industrial chemicals etc., have been widely recognised to be entering the environment from a 
	variety of sources. There are many studies that detail the presence of a range of compounds in
	a variety of matrices, however the majority of this existing work has been focused on one or 
	two classes at a time, or a small number of compounds of emerging concern (CECs), primarily in 
	aqueous matrices. The aim of the paper is to investigate the changes in micropollutant load 
	throughout a river catchment system in the South-West of the UK, to gain further information 
	on their sources, fate and behaviour. This was achieved by undertaking a comprehensive 
	investigation of 142 CECs, previously prioritised and analytical method validated (Proctor 
	et al., 2019), at five strategic WwTWs representing >75 % of the catchment population. At each 
	WwTW, influent (both liquid and solid phases) and effluent wastewater, digested solids, and 
	upstream and downstream river water were monitored for 7 consecutive days.
