Abstract

The potential risks associated with steroid estrogens (SEs) on both water and human health are significant. Through the utilization of bibliometric analysis methods and visual network graph analysis, this study revealed several key findings: (1) There is a growing interest in research on SEs pollution in water, as evidenced by the increasing annual and cumulative number of publications. Scholars worldwide are particularly focused on studying the environmental behavior, toxicological effects, removal methods, and detection technologies related to SEs in water. (2) Upon entering the environmental medium, free estrogens (FEs) undergo processes such as adsorption, migration, transformation, and degradation. Conjugated estrogens (CEs) can serve as precursors to FEs under specific conditions, with interconversion between the two types of estrogens also observed. (3) The toxic effects of SEs on aquatic animals primarily manifest in reduced fertilized egg and offspring survival rates. In terms of plant growth, SEs exhibit stimulatory effects at low concentrations and inhibitory effects at high concentrations. Furthermore, SEs can impact human health by modulating the expression of genes essential for reproductive and immune functions through epigenetic mechanisms. (4) Currently, various pretreatment technologies for water samples are utilized, such as solid phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction, and other methods. The removal methods for SEs can be categorized into physical, chemical, and biological techniques. Moving forward, it is crucial to focus on developing efficient and sensitive target sensors, as well as establishing more sensitive, convenient, and accurate detection technologies to support decision-making in managing, controlling, and restoring SEs pollution risks in water.

水体中甾体雌激素污染的研究进展

甾体雌激素（SEs）对水和人类健康的潜在风险是显著的。通过文献计量分析方法和视觉网络图分析，本研究揭示了以下几个主要发现：(1)对水体中硒污染的研究兴趣日益浓厚，年度和累计出版物数量不断增加。国内外学者对水中硒的环境行为、毒理学效应、去除方法和检测技术的研究尤为关注。(2)游离雌激素（free estrogen, FEs）进入环境介质后，经历吸附、迁移、转化、降解等过程。共轭雌激素（CEs）在特定条件下可作为FEs的前体，两种类型的雌激素之间也存在相互转化。(3)硒对水生动物的毒性作用主要表现为降低受精卵和后代的存活率。在植物生长方面，se在低浓度下表现出刺激作用，在高浓度下表现出抑制作用。此外，SEs可以通过表观遗传机制调节生殖和免疫功能所需基因的表达，从而影响人类健康。(4)目前水样的预处理技术多种多样，如固相萃取、液液萃取等方法。SEs的去除方法可分为物理法、化学法和生物法。下一步，重点是开发高效、灵敏的目标传感器，建立更灵敏、更便捷、更准确的检测技术，为管理、控制和恢复水体se污染风险的决策提供支持。图形抽象

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
