The current challenge for environmental protection is pollution from the group of emerging pollutants (ECs). Emerging contaminants are a group of highly toxic substances present in the environment at very low concentrations. These contaminants often enter aquatic ecosystems from various sources, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial chemicals. Due to their bioaccumulative properties, ECs can move through the food chain, eventually reaching human bodies. Due to their bioaccumulative properties, ECs can move through the trophic chain, eventually reaching the human body. The aim of the article was to indicate the need for further research on the toxicity of these pollutants, their impact on the environment and human health, and to develop guidelines regulating their permissible concentrations. The importance of developing effective methods for removing ECs from various environmental components was also pointed out. Implementing these removal techniques, alongside regulations limiting the use of these substances, is essential to protect water quality and public health.

Aktualnym wyzwaniem dla ochrony środowiska są zanieczyszczenia z grupy nowo pojawiających się zanieczyszczeń (ECs). Nowopojawiające się zanieczyszczenia to grupa silnie toksycznych substancji obecnych w środowisku w bardzo niskich stężeniach. Te zanieczyszczenia często przedostają się do ekosystemów wodnych z różnych źródeł, takich jak produkty farmaceutyczne, kosmetyki i chemikalia przemysłowe. Ze względu na właściwości bioakumulacyjne, ECs mogą przemieszczać się przez łańcuch troficzny, ostatecznie docierając do organizmu człowieka. Ich trwałość sprawia, że pozostają w środowisku przez wiele lat, co prowadzi do szkodliwych skutków dla różnych elementów ekosystemu oraz zdrowia ludzi. Celem artykułu było wskazanie potrzeb dalszych badań nad toksycznością tych zanieczyszczeń, ich wpływem na środowisko i zdrowie ludzi oraz opracowania wytycznych regulujących ich dopuszczalne stężenia. Wskazano również znaczenie opracowania skutecznych metod usuwania ECs z różnych komponentów środowiska. Wdrożenie technik usuwania tych zanieczyszczeń oraz przepisów ograniczających ich stosowanie, jest niezbędne do ochrony jakości wody i zdrowia publicznego.
