| چکیده مقاله |
| Emerging contaminants (ECs) are an increasingly critical challenge for modern water management due to their persistence, toxicity, and resistance to conventional treatment processes. These compounds, including pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, pesticides, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and microplastics, occur in trace concentrations yet exert significant ecological and health effects. The growing adoption of advanced water-reuse systems offers a sustainable solution to global water scarcity but simultaneously introduces the necessity to remove ECs efficiently and consistently. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of current and emerging mitigation strategies used in advanced reuse frameworks, emphasizing membrane-based separation, advanced oxidation processes, hybrid configurations, and nanotechnology-enabled solutions. Special attention is given to the synergistic potential of multi-barrier systems that integrate chemical, biological, and physical methods to achieve high contaminant removal with minimal environmental trade-offs. Furthermore, the role of real-time monitoring and data-driven control systems in improving operational efficiency and regulatory compliance is discussed. The evolution of risk-informed frameworks and adaptive policies is also examined as a critical complement to technological innovation. Sustainable EC mitigation requires coupling scientific advances with responsive governance, stakeholder engagement, and long-term environmental stewardship. The insights provided in this study aim to guide the development of resilient and scalable water-reuse infrastructures capable of ensuring public health protection and environmental integrity in the face of emerging contaminant challenges. |
