Abstract：
The growing presence of emerging pollutants (EPs) in aquatic environments, as well as their harmful impacts on the biosphere and humans, has become a global concern. Recent developments and advancements in pharmaceuticals, agricultural practices, industrial activities, and human personal care substances have paved the way for drastic changes in EP concentrations and impacts on the ecosystem. As a result, it is critical to mitigate EP\'s harmful effects before they jeopardize the ecological equilibrium of the overall ecosystem and the sustainable existence of life on Earth. This review comprehensively documented the types, origins, and remediation strategies of EPs, and underscored the significance of this study in the current context. We briefly stated the major classification of EPs based on their organic and inorganic nature. Furthermore, this review systematically evaluates the occurrence of EPs due to the fast-changing ecological scenarios and their impact on human health. Recent studies have critically discussed the emerging physical and chemical processes for EP removal, highlighting the limitations of conventional remediation technologies. We reviewed and presented the challenges associated with EP remediation and degradation using several methods, including physical and chemical methods, with the application of recent technologies. The EP types and various methods discussed in this review help the researchers understand the nature of present-day EPs and utilize an efficient method of choice for EP removal and management in the future for sustainable life and development activities on the planet.
摘要：
水生环境中新兴污染物（EP）的不断增加，以及它们对生物圈和人类的有害影响，已经成为全球关注的问题。药物的最新发展和进步，农业实践,工业活动,和人类个人护理物质为EP浓度的急剧变化和对生态系统的影响铺平了道路。因此,在它们危及整个生态系统的生态平衡和地球上生命的可持续存在之前，减轻EP的有害影响是至关重要的。这篇综述全面记录了这些类型，起源,和EP的补救策略，并强调了本研究在当前背景下的意义。我们根据EP的有机和无机性质简要说明了EP的主要分类。此外，这篇综述系统地评估了由于快速变化的生态情景引起的EP的发生及其对人类健康的影响。最近的研究已经批判性地讨论了新兴的物理和化学过程的EP去除，强调传统修复技术的局限性。我们使用几种方法回顾并介绍了与EP修复和降解相关的挑战，包括物理和化学方法，随着最新技术的应用。这篇综述中讨论的EP类型和各种方法有助于研究人员了解当今EP的性质，并在未来为地球上的可持续生命和发展活动选择一种有效的EP去除和管理方法。
