Abstract:
Emerging pollutants (EPs) emerged as a group of new compounds whose presence in the environment has been widely detected in Mexico. In this country, different concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds, pesticides, dyes, and microplastics have been reported, which vary depending on the region and the analyzed matrix (i.e., wastewater, surface water, groundwater). The evidence of the EPs\' presence focuses on the detection of them, but there is a gap in information regarding is biomonitoring and their effects in health in Mexico. The presence of these pollutants in the country associated with lack of proper regulations in the discharge and disposal of EPs. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive view of the current environmental status, policies, and frameworks regarding Mexico\'s situation. The review also highlights the lack of information about biomonitoring since EPs are present in water even after their treatment, leading to a critical situation, which is high exposure to humans and animals. Although, technologies to efficiently eliminate EPs are available, their application has been reported only at a laboratory scale thus far. Here, an overview of health and environmental impacts and a summary of the research works reported in Mexico from 2014 to 2023 were presented. This review concludes with a concrete point of view and perspective on the status of the EPs\' research in Mexico as an alert for government entities about the necessity of measures to control the EPs disposal and treatment.
摘要:
新兴污染物(EP)作为一组新化合物出现,其在环境中的存在已在墨西哥被广泛发现。在这个国家,不同浓度的药物化合物,杀虫剂,染料,据报道,微塑料,取决于区域和分析的矩阵(即,废水,地表水,地下水)。EP存在的证据集中在对它们的检测上,但是在墨西哥,关于生物监测及其对健康的影响的信息存在差距。这些污染物在该国的存在与EP的排放和处置缺乏适当的法规有关。因此,这项审查旨在全面了解当前的环境状况,政策,以及关于墨西哥局势的框架。该评论还强调了缺乏有关生物监测的信息,因为EP即使在处理后也存在于水中,导致了危急情况,这是对人类和动物的高度暴露。虽然,有效消除EP的技术可用,迄今为止,仅在实验室规模上报告了它们的应用。这里,介绍了健康和环境影响的概述以及2014年至2023年在墨西哥报告的研究工作的摘要.这篇评论以对墨西哥EPs研究状况的具体观点和观点作为政府实体关于控制EPs处置和治疗措施必要性的警报。
