Pollution of the environment, including water resources, is currently one of the greatest challenges due to emerging new contaminants of anthropogenic origin. Of particular concern are emerging organic pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and pesticides, but also other industrial pollutants, for example, synthetic dyes. The growing demand for environmentally friendly and economical methods of removing emerging contaminants and synthetic dyes from wastewater resulted in increased interest in the possibility of using techniques based on the application of polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) for this purpose. PIM-based techniques are promising methods for eliminating emerging contaminants and synthetic dyes from aqueous solutions, including wastewater, due to high efficiency, membranes versatility, ease/low cost of preparation, and high selectivity. This review describes the latest developments related to the removal of various emerging contaminants and synthetic dyes from aqueous solutions using PIMs over the past few years, with particular emphasis on research aimed at increasing the effectiveness and selectivity of PIMs, which may contribute to wider use of these methods in the future.
由于新出现的人为来源污染物，包括水资源在内的环境污染目前是最大的挑战之一。特别令人关注的是新兴有机污染物，如药物、内分泌干扰物和农药，还有其他工业污染物，例如合成染料。对从废水中去除新兴污染物和合成染料的环保且经济方法的需求不断增加，这使得人们对基于聚合物包络膜（PIMs）应用的技术用于此目的的可能性兴趣大增。基于PIMs的技术是从水溶液（包括废水）中消除新兴污染物和合成染料的有前景的方法，因为其效率高、膜的通用性强、制备简便/成本低且选择性高。本综述描述了过去几年中使用PIMs从水溶液中去除各种新兴污染物和合成染料的最新进展，特别强调旨在提高PIMs有效性和选择性的研究，这可能有助于这些方法在未来得到更广泛的应用。
