Occurrence of UV filters, fragrances and organophosphate flame retardants in municipal WWTP effluents and their removal during membrane post-treatment.

•Occurrence and removal of selected CECs from urban WWTPs effluents by UF, NF and RO.•At least 75% removal of fragrances independent of the membrane used.•The rejection rates of OPFRs strongly depended on membrane process applied.•Membrane treatment reduced the potential risk in the receiving aquatic environment.
