Summary

This review examines the environmental impact of emerging contaminants in aquatic systems, providing both global and Latin American regional perspectives on contaminant types found in domestic wastewater, industrial effluent, and drinking water. The authors survey removal efficiencies of conventional and advanced treatment technologies, identifying gaps in legislation and regulation that limit effective control of emerging contaminant discharges into water bodies.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión del impacto ambiental generado por los contaminantes emergentes (CE) en el entorno acuático y la manera de tratarlos, al ser descargados en los cuerpos hídricos. Se presenta una visión global y una visión a nivel regional (Latinoamérica) de los contaminantes emergentes presentes en el agua bien sea agua residual doméstica, agua residual industrial o agua potable para de esta manera identificar cuáles son los principales contaminantes emergentes (CE) y mostrar la importancia y el impacto que tienen sobre el ambiente y las repercusiones debidas al desconocimiento y la falta de legislación al momento de controlar los vertimientos sobre los cuerpos hídricos. Las eficiencias de remoción para los contaminantes emergentes mediante tratamientos comunes (coagulación, floculación, sedimentación, etc.) son medianamente aceptables con valores entre un 30% y 60% mientras que a través de tratamientos terciarios (oxidación avanzada, tratamientos con peróxido de hidrogeno, luz UV, etc.) alcanza porcentajes entre un 80% y un 95% indicando la alta capacidad para remover los contaminantes.

A systematic review on the current situation of emerging pollutants in Mexico: A perspective on policies, regulation, detection, and elimination in water and wastewater

Emerging pollutants including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and microplastics have been widely detected across Mexican water sources, but biomonitoring and health-effects data remain almost entirely absent. Available technologies for removing these pollutants have only been tested at laboratory scale.

Introduction—Emerging Pollutants in Water: Threats, Challenges, and Research Needs

This review examines contaminants of emerging concern in water, including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and endocrine-disrupting compounds, that are not adequately addressed by current water treatment and regulation. These pollutants enter water through wastewater, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff and persist in the environment. The authors call for better monitoring and innovative treatment strategies to protect human health and water resources.
