Abstract: In this paper the pollution situation of diethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) in water environments，such as surface water，drinking water，waste water and ground water，is introduced. DEHP is present widely in water environment，and the pollution level in some places of China，especially the industrial and densely populated areas，highly exceeds the average conditions overseas. The main pathways of DEHP pollution in soil，water and air include direct discharge of DEHP from manufacturers and release from daily use. Then the methods for removing DEHP from water are summarized，including adsorption，oxidation，and biodegradation. The mechanisms of above- mentioned methods are also summarized，and the biodegradation pathways of DEHP are analyzed. Finally extended studies on DEHP pollutions in various water environments are recommended. Further investigation of the mechanisms of DEHP transformation，degradation and its toxicology and the development of low-cost and efficient treatment methods are proposed.

摘要： 综述了国内外水环境（地表水、饮用水、污水和地下水）中邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯（DEHP）的污染现状，表明水环境中普遍存在DEHP污染，国内局部地区尤其是工业和人口密集地区的DEHP污染水平超过国外。DEHP主要通过含DEHP工业废水的直接排放以及DEHP制品的释放进入土壤、水和空气等环境介质。在此基础上，概括介绍了水环境中DEHP的去除方法，主要包括吸附分离、高级氧化、生物降解等，并总结了上述各方法的去除机理，重点对生物降解DEHP的代谢途径进行了分析。最后指出了该领域今后的研究方向，特别是应加强各种水环境介质中污染状况的调查研究，进一步探讨DEHP的迁移、降解、毒害机理，同时深入研究经济高效的DEHP污染处理方法。
