In recent years, with the emerging contaminants (ECs) in drinking water sources frequently detecting, water quality safety issues have become a focal point of widespread social concern. In 2024, significant progress has been achieved in preventing and controlling ECs in drinking water. This paper firstly systematically analysis the characteristics of ECs in drinking water, delving into their environmental impacts and potential risks to human health. Subsequently, it reviews the research progress of the latest technologies and materials designed to remove these ECs. Finally, it proffers strategic insights and recommendations aimed at effectively managing ECs in drinking water. Research indicates that the occurrence characteristics of ECs such as perfluorinated compounds, antibiotics, microplastics, and disinfection by-products in drinking water have attracted widespread attention. Traditional treatment technology coupled with advanced membrane technologies as well as the integration of artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced the efficiency of reducing ECs. Additionally, modified activated carbon adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, ultraviolet-assisted advanced oxidation, and functional membrane separation have demonstrated effectiveness in removing emerging contaminants. To further strengthen prevention and control efforts, a life-cycle-based approach is recommended. This includes dynamic screening of contaminants in water sources, development of high-efficiency removal processes and equipment, comprehensive environmental health risk assessments, and improvements to regulatory standards for drinking water quality. Continuous efforts in these areas aim to ensure safe water supply for residents while addressing ecological and public health challenges.
