Nowadays, water contamination due to the drugs and pharmaceuticals residues is increasing and alarming. These contaminants are called as new emerging pollutants. The contamination due to the new emerging contaminants is of great concern due to their endocrine, hormonal and genetic disturbance nature. Also, some drugs and pharmaceuticals residues are converted into chiral metabolites, which are receptor specific and have serious side effects. Water pollution by new emerging pollutants is becoming a subject of global anxiety, with hazardous environmental consequences. Many water resources have been found to have new emerging pollutants. Nano particles are used to remove these pollutants and these are called as new generation nano-adsorbents. These new generation nano-adsorbents are capable to remove new emerging pollutants even at low concentration i.e. μg/L under varied conditions of pH and temperature. The present article describes state-of-the-art of the removal of new emerging pollutants using new generation nano-adsorbents by adsorption technology. The efforts are made to discuss the sources contamination and toxicities of new emergent pollutants, preparation, characterization and separation of new generation nano-adsorbents. Besides, the attempts have also been made to discuss the future perspectives of the new emergent pollutants and new generation adsorbents.

如今，由于药物和药品残留物引起的水污染日益严重，令人震惊。这些污染物被称为新兴污染物。由于新出现的污染物的内分泌，激素和遗传干扰特性，引起人们的极大关注。同样，一些药物和药品的残留物会转化为手性代谢物，这些代谢物具有受体特异性并具有严重的副作用。新出现的污染物对水的污染正成为全球性焦虑的问题，对环境造成危害。已经发现许多水资源具有新出现的污染物。纳米颗粒用于去除这些污染物，这些被称为新一代纳米吸附剂。这些新一代的纳米吸附剂即使在低浓度下也能够去除新出现的污染物即在变化的pH和温度条件下为μg/ L。本文介绍了使用新一代纳米吸附剂通过吸附技术去除新兴污染物的最新技术。努力讨论新出现的污染物的来源污染和毒性，新一代纳米吸附剂的制备，表征和分离。此外，还尝试讨论了新出现的污染物和新一代吸附剂的未来前景。
