Environmental pollution is escalating due to rapid global development that often prioritizes human needs over planetary health. Despite global efforts to mitigate legacy pollutants, the continuous introduction of new substances remains a major threat to both people and the planet.
This review identifies the sources and impacts of emerging contaminants on planetary health, emphasizing the importance of adopting a One Health approach. Strategies for monitoring and addressing these pollutants are discussed, underscoring the need for robust and socially equitable environmental policies at both regional and international levels.
Urgent actions are needed to transition toward sustainable pollution management practices to safeguard our planet for future generations. The global economy stimulates the continuous production and release of new chemical and biological agents that challenge global health and sustainability.
Integrating green and benign-by-design principles into production processes is crucial for eliminating hazardous materials from global supply chains. Emerging environmental management practices are essential for environmental restoration and promoting global health and sustainability. This review explores the sources of emerging contaminants and their impact on planetary health, with an emphasis on source control and remediation strategies. Adopting a One Health approach through interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for addressing emerging contaminants and their complex impacts.

Before the Industrial Revolution, naturally occurring pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, were the primary contaminants of concern, presenting threats to both human and ecosystem health. With the onset of the Anthropocene, humans have increasingly depleted natural resources and developed new chemical molecules, or novel entities, in pursuit of global development, resulting in waste streams transgressing planetary boundaries, disrupting natural ecosystems, 2 , 3 and inducing changes in agricultural practices, which led to the evolution of wild-type pathogens.
