Recent Developments in Emerging Contaminants Determination and Treatment Technologies

A significant hazard to human life has been created by the intensive and widespread nature of enterprises that release large amounts of ECs into the environment. The chance of unknown ECs leak, fate, transit, and exposure by numerous companies are making the job of policymakers more challenging. The incidence, transformation, degradation pathways, and potential treatment of ECs need to be better understood, even though their pathway is still not entirely known. Unfortunately, because of their low concentrations and great solubility, EC poisons can harm both people and wildlife, as well as local ecosystems, and they are challenging to remove. Additionally, due to an absence of stringent legislation and insufficient toxicological data on these ECs, this release remains unregulated. In addition, it is yet unknown how much of an environmental and health impact these emerging pollutants entail. Advances in analytical chemistry, technology, and engineering have made it possible to identify specific ECs in the environment. To detect and count environmental ECs, more research in this field is required.
