Emerging pollutants can disrupt ecosystems and threaten human health, posing significant risks to global environmental health. Addressing these pollutants has become a critical task in the field of environmental pollution management both in China and globally. China has formulated the "Action Plan for the Management of Emerging Pollutants", which proposes a systematic approach of "Screening-Assessment-Control." This plan actively promotes foundational research on the combined exposure, pollution control, and health effects of emerging contaminants. It also integrates new technological tools from environmental chemistry, geography, medicine, artificial intelligence, and big data into the research system for emerging contaminants. Furthermore, during the development of new energy sources for a clean and low-carbon transition under the carbon neutrality goal, the issue of emerging pollutants will also arise. Especially under global warming conditions, the re-release of pollutants and some extreme events may lead to newly recognized environmental behaviors of pollutants. Therefore, managing emerging pollutants requires new theories, methods, and paradigms to address complex environmental pollution exposure scenarios. Against this backdrop, Peking University, as the organizing institution, in collaboration with the ACS Publications, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University of Technology, Dalian University of Technology, et al. is inviting top international experts in the field of environmental health to host a multidisciplinary international forum on environmental and health.

Peking University has established the nation's first "Undergraduate Program in Environmental Health" (jointly offered by the College of Urban and Environmental Sciences and the School of Public Health) and has founded the first "Department of Environmental Health" (within the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering). The university has conducted long-term explorations in the field of environmental health and has undertaken a series of research projects on emerging contaminants. We warmly welcome colleagues from both domestic and international institutions to gather at Peking University this autumn to discuss academic challenges and hot topics in the prevention and control of emerging contaminants, and to promote global cooperation aimed at mitigating and preventing health issues caused by these contaminants
