N2 - Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), such as pharmaceuticals, impair water quality of water resources globally and pose great ecotoxicological risks. Understanding the factors that influence TrOC reactivity under natural conditions is vital in managing water resources sustainably and, ultimately, preserving aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem health. The hyporheic zone, the interface of streambed sediments, where surface water and groundwater mix, possesses significant capacities to reduce TrOC loads. The present thesis provides a novel framework, comprising innovative sampling and modelling methods, to investigate the processes that drive TrOC reactivity in natural hyporheic sediments.
