Abstract
Environmental contamination caused by the abusage of chemical compounds is a worldwide phenomenon, arising as a result of human activities and population growth. There are various pollutants ranging from the pharmaceutical to the agricultural source. In recent times, there is an increasing demand for pharmaceuticals, which in turn has placed a matter of concern for public sector. Additionally, the usage of unlawful drugs has resulted in the discharge of harmful carcinogens into the water system. The release of these chemicals poses a number of short- and long-term effects on the natural ecosystem, taking into consideration the harmful effects of the chemical pollutants and their unavoidable usage in the modern era. This chapter overlooks some of the majorly employed chemicals (xenobiotics and pesticides), and their fate in the aquatic community, their modes of action, and some of the mitigation strategies.
