Control and prevention of environmental pollution have emerged as paramount global concerns. Anthropogenic activities, such as industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and improper waste disposal, introduce a wide range of contaminants into various ecosystems. These pollutants encompass organic and inorganic compounds, particulates, microorganisms, and disinfection by-products, posing severe threats to human health, ecosystems, and the environment. Effective monitoring methods are indispensable for assessing environmental quality, identifying pollution sources, and implementing remedial measures. This paper suggests that the development and utilization of highly advanced analytical tools are both essential for the analysis of contaminants in water samples, presenting a foundational hypothesis for the review. This paper comprehensively reviews the development and utilization of highly advanced analytical tools which is mandatory for the analysis of contaminants in water samples. Depending on the specific pollutants being studied, the choice of analytical methods widely varies. It also reveals insights into the diverse applications and effectiveness of these methods in assessing water quality and contaminant levels. By emphasizing the critical role of the reviewed monitoring methods, this review seeks to deepen the understanding of pollution challenges and inspire innovative monitoring solutions that contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable global environment.•Urgent global concerns: control and prevention of pollution from diverse sources.•Varied contaminants, diverse methods: comprehensive review of analytical tools.•Inspiring a sustainable future: innovative monitoring for a cleaner environment.
环境污染的控制与预防已成为全球最为关注的问题。人为活动，如工业排放、农业径流和不当的废物处理，将各种各样的污染物引入到各种生态系统中。这些污染物包括有机和无机化合物、颗粒物、微生物以及消毒副产物，对人类健康、生态系统和环境构成了严重威胁。有效的监测方法对于评估环境质量、识别污染源以及采取补救措施而言不可或缺。本文表明，高度先进的分析工具的开发与利用对于水样中污染物的分析至关重要，这为本次综述提出了一个基本假设。本文全面综述了高度先进的分析工具的开发与利用情况，这些工具对于水样中污染物的分析是必不可少的。根据所研究的特定污染物，分析方法的选择差异很大。它还揭示了这些方法在评估水质和污染物水平方面的各种应用及有效性。通过强调所综述的监测方法的关键作用，本综述旨在加深对污染挑战的理解，并激发创新的监测解决方案，以促成一个更清洁、更可持续的全球环境。
