Research progress on source, risk assessment, and management of emerging pollutants in drinking water

doi:10.13287/j.1001-9332.202312.029

Abstract

Abstract: With the extensive production and use of various chemicals, emerging pollutants including environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals, perfluoro chemicals, antibiotics, and microplastics have been continuously entering the environment, and spread to water through multiple pathways. The pollution of these emerging pollutants raised continuous concerns for the safety of drinking water, threating the ecological environment and human health. In combination with international research progress, we discussed in detail about pollution, source, and risk assessment of emerging pollutants in drinking water. We further suggested and prospected the challenge of environmental management of emerging pollutants. This review could promote the public’s understanding of emerging pollutants, and provide theoretical support for risk prevention and treatment of emerging pollutants in drinking water.

Key words: emerging pollutant, drinking water, risk assessment, environmental management
