Emerging contaminants (ECs) include endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals (lipid regulators, antibiotics, diuretics, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, stimulant drugs, antiseptics, analgesic, beta blockers), detergents, disinfectants, and personal care products. The residues from these compounds have become a concerning because of their bioactive presence on environmental matrices, especially water bodies. The development of technologies, aiming the secure and efficient removal of these compounds from the environment or event to remove them before they achieve the environment, is necessary. In these context, the present review is about promising eco-friendly, low-cost and specially applied, including biological processes using microalgae, bacteria, enzymes produced by fungi, and adsorbent materials such as those recycled from other processes waste. The processes where revised considering the removal mechanism and the efficiency rate.

新出现的污染物 (EC) 包括干扰内分泌的化合物、药物（脂质调节剂、抗生素、利尿剂、非甾体抗炎药、兴奋剂、防腐剂、镇痛剂、β 受体阻滞剂）、清洁剂、消毒剂和个人护理产品。这些化合物的残留物已成为一个令人担忧的问题，因为它们在环境基质，尤其是水体中存在生物活性。有必要开发旨在从环境中安全有效地去除这些化合物或在它们进入环境之前将它们去除的技术。在这些背景下，本综述是关于有前景的生态友好、低成本和特殊应用，包括使用微藻、细菌、真菌产生的酶的生物过程，和吸附材料，例如从其他工艺废料中回收的材料。考虑去除机制和效率而修改的过程。
