Emerging contaminants, such as antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, hormones, and artificial sweeteners, are recognized as new classes of water contaminants due to their proven or potential adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. This review provides comprehensive data on the occurrence of 60 emerging contaminants (ECs) in influent, treated effluent, sludge, and biosolids in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In particular, data on the occurrence of ECs in the influents and effluents of WWTPs are systematically summarized and categorized according to geographical regions (Asia, Europe, and North America). The occurrence patterns of ECs in raw influent and treated effluents of WWTPs between geographical regions were compared and evaluated. Concentrations of most ECs in raw influent in Asian region tend to be higher than those in European and North American countries. Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection. The efficacy of EC removal by sorption and biodegradation during wastewater treatment processes are discussed in light of kinetics and parameters, such as sorption coefficients (K_d) and biodegradation constants (k_biol), and physicochemical properties (i.e. log K_ow and pK_a). Commonly used sampling and monitoring strategies are critically reviewed. Analytical research needs are identified, and novel investigative approaches for future monitoring studies are proposed.

新兴污染物，例如抗生素，药品，个人护理产品，激素和人造甜味剂，由于它们对水生生态系统和人类健康的已证明或潜在的不利影响，被公认为是新型的水污染物。这篇综述提供了有关废水处理厂（WWTP）中进水，处理后的废水，污泥和生物固体中60种新兴污染物（EC）发生情况的综合数据。特别是，根据污水处理厂（亚洲，欧洲和北美）的污水处理厂进水和出水中EC的发生数据进行了系统地汇总和分类。比较并评估了地理区域之间污水处理厂的原始进水和处理过的废水中EC的发生方式。亚洲地区大多数EC的原水浓度要高于欧洲和北美国家。在污水处理厂的进水和出水中检测到许多抗生素，其浓度接近或超过用于耐药性选择的预期无效应浓度（PNEC）。根据动力学和参数，如吸附系数（K），讨论了废水处理过程中通过吸附和生物降解去除EC的功效。_d）和生物降解常数（k _biol），以及理化特性（即log K _ow和pK _a）。严格审查了常用的抽样和监测策略。确定了分析研究的需求，并提出了用于未来监测研究的新颖调查方法。
