Abstract

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), such as disinfectants, fragrances (e.g., products for body cleaning, sunscreens, and lotions), household chemicals, and drugs to cure human and animal diseases, are considered to be the most emerging contaminants in water bodies. These products are known to transform slightly or are often unchanged with time and enter into the aquatic environment. Although PPCPs have been detected frequently throughout the world, they still remain unregulated or currently undergoing a regularization process. Various PPCPs are persistent or pseudo-persistent and deteriorate wastewater quality, human health as well as the ecosystem. Moreover, they are also known to be bio-accumulative in organisms. Thus, it is essential to find a solution to achieve an effective removal of these emerging pollutants before their discharge. The main objective of this work was an exclusive review of the existing literature on PPCPs removal from water. The pros and cons of the reported PPCPs removal processes are reviewed critically and presented in this paper.
