Protection of freshwater ecosystems from organic pollutants is important to preserve biodiversity and the goods they provide to society, such as clean drinking water and recreation. Organic chemicals have been shown to adversely impact freshwater ecosystems in local and regional studies. Nevertheless, due to paucity of studies on larger spatial scales, it remains unknown how widespread the risk from organic chemicals is. For the first time, to our knowledge, we provide strong evidence that chemicals threaten the ecological integrity and consequently the biodiversity of almost half of the water bodies on a continental scale, based on the analysis of governmental monitoring data from 4,000 European sites. Due to limitations associated with the monitoring programs, our results are likely to underestimate the actual risks.
