Nowadays, water pollution represents a great concern due to population growth, industrialization, and urbanization. Every day hazardous chemical products for humans and aquatic organisms are disposed of arbitrarily from homes and industries. Even though detergents are considered an essential market, there is evidence of environmental impacts caused by surfactants like nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS). Regulations about maximum allowable concentrations in sewage, surface water, and drinking water are scarce or null, mostly in developing countries like Latin American countries. Therefore, this review explores these two common toxic surfactants (NPE and LAS) and proposes a technological, innovative, and ecological perspective on detergents. Also, it establishes a starting point for industries to minimize adverse effects on humans and environmental health caused by these compounds.
如今，由于人口增长、工业化和城市化，水污染成为一个严重的问题。每天，来自家庭和工业的有害化学产品都被任意处置。尽管洗涤剂被认为是一种必不可少的市场产品，但有证据表明，像壬基酚聚氧乙烯（NPE）和直链烷基苯磺酸盐（LAS）这样的表面活性剂会对环境造成影响。关于污水、地表水和饮用水中最大允许浓度的法规很少或不存在，主要在拉丁美洲等发展中国家。因此，本综述探讨了这两种常见的有毒表面活性剂（NPE 和 LAS），并对洗涤剂提出了技术、创新和生态的观点。此外，它为工业界提供了一个起点，以尽量减少这些化合物对人类和环境健康造成的不利影响。
