Abstract

The emerging contaminants (ECs) are of significant environmental concern globally in the twenty-first century. They are broadly dispersed far and wide into all the ecological matrices due to various anthropogenic inputs in the environment. The proper handling and management of these ECs are very crucial because their presence in even small concentrations has far-reaching consequences on the well-being of aquatic and terrestrial lives, including human health. The ECs comprise of pollutants mainly from industrial and agricultural sources, including micropollutants, synthetic dyes, compounds containing hazardous dyes, toxins, hormones, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and pesticides. The persistent discharge of these ECs in regulated or unregulated manners has already damaged the environment irreversibly. The inefficiency of the conventional treatment approach in eliminating an array of ECs in different environmental and biological samples has compelled the engineers, scientific community, and policymakers alike to contemplate it. The recent developments in environmental engineering, biotechnology and, nanotechnology altogether establish novel and advanced methodologies for water remediation. In this chapter, we elaborately discuss various sources of the ECs in different water bodies, potential health risks associated with the widespread distribution of these ECs in water, and the novel water remediation approaches are facilitated by modern technological advancements.
