Groundwater is considered as the main source for supplying the public drinking water in many countries and regions; however, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and artificial sweeteners (ASs) found in groundwater can exert harmful effects on human health and aquatic ecosystems, and therefore, they are of persistent concern. The recent data on the occurrence of a series of PPCPs (including antibiotics, excitants and lipid regulators) and ASs often detected in groundwater are reviewed, in which the PPCPs and ASs occur in groundwater at the concentration from several nanograms to several micrograms per litre. In addition, the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of PPCPs and ASs are discussed and the main sources and possibly pollution pathways of PPCPs and ASs in groundwater are summarised and analysed. Additionally, the adsorption, migration and degradation of PPCPs and ASs in underground environments are evaluated. Due to the long residence time in groundwater, pollutants are likely to threaten the freshwater body for decades under certain conditions. Therefore, according to the current level of pollution, it is necessary to improve and enhance the supervision on PPCP and AS pollutants and prevent and control groundwater pollution.

在许多国家和地区，地下水被认为是提供公共饮用水的主要来源。但是，地下水中发现的药品和个人护理产品（PPCP）和人造甜味剂（ASs）可能对人体健康和水生生态系统产生有害影响，因此，它们一直受到关注。回顾了最近在地下水中经常发现的一系列PPCP（包括抗生素，兴奋剂和脂质调节剂）和AS的发生数据，其中PPCP和AS在地下水中的浓度从每升几纳克到几微克不等。此外，还讨论了PPCP和AS的时空分布特征，并对地下水中PPCP和AS的主要来源以及可能的污染途径进行了总结和分析。此外，评估了地下环境中PPCP和AS的吸附，迁移和降解。由于在地下水中的停留时间长，在某些条件下，污染物可能威胁淡水体数十年。因此，根据目前的污染水平，有必要改善和加强对PPCP和AS污染物的监管，预防和控制地下水污染。
