随着2000年代初的分析能力开始能够检测环境介质中浓度越来越小的化学品，有可能对人类和生态系统健康造成不利影响的化学品开始在全世界几乎无处不在。分析的目标化学品类型包括天然和合成激素、人类和兽医药物、个人护理产品中的化学品、新型农药、纳米颗粒、微塑料以及其他天然和合成来源的化学品。在许多情况下，这些化学品对环境和人类健康的影响仍然未知。总的来说，这些化学物质被称为“新出现的污染物”或“新出现的令人担忧的污染物”。在了解这些污染物在环境中的来源、一旦释放到环境中控制其命运和运输的过程以及技术和/或最佳管理做法减轻其发生的能力方面取得了很大进展。随着《环境质量杂志》（JEQ）庆祝创刊50周年，我们试图了解该杂志上的出版物如何在新兴污染物的研究领域做出有影响力的贡献。在这里，我们介绍了JEQ中形成该领域知识的出版物的轨迹，强调了这些贡献的重要性，并总结了JEQ继续吸引高质量新兴污染物研究的机会。
As analytical capabilities in the early 2000s began to enable the detection of chemicals in environmental media at increasingly small concentrations, chemicals with the potential to cause adverse human and ecosystem health effects began to be found nearly ubiquitously worldwide. The types of chemicals that were targeted for analysis included natural and synthetic hormones, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, chemicals in personal care products, novel pesticides, nanoparticles, microplastics, and other chemicals of natural and synthetic origin. The impacts of these chemicals on environmental and human health in many cases remain unknown. Collectively, these chemicals became known as “emerging contaminants” or “contaminants of emerging concern.” Much progress has been made toward understanding the sources of these contaminants in the environment, the processes that control their fate and transport once they are released into the environment, and the ability of technology and/or best management practices to mitigate their occurrence. As theJournal of Environmental Quality(JEQ) celebrates its 50th anniversary, we sought to understand how publications in the journal have made impactful contributions in the research area of emerging contaminants. Here, we present the trajectory of publications in JEQ that have shaped knowledge in this field, highlight the importance of these contributions, and conclude with opportunities for JEQ to continue attracting high‐quality emerging contaminants research.
