ABSTRACT
Information pollution in respect to emerging pollutants in the global change scenario can be exposed to one of the biggest and most dangerous environmental sins, confusing fair, precise, understandable and honest communication. It is important to note and understand that 'emerging pollutants' need not be 'novel' to the environment and biosphere, that is, they need not be anthropogenic; the property which renders them 'emerging pollutants' simply is the fact that their possible role in environmental pollution was discovered more or less recently. Emerging pollutants, can likewise be biogenic compounds which become significant pollutants only because either patterns of use of certain parts of environment or abundances of emitting organisms did change. The concept of emerging pollutants means not to introduce novel compounds into the environment but to become aware that a given compound might pose some risk beyond its originally intended use.
