Recent trends in the detection and degradation of organic pollutants

The emerging organic pollutants, including organochlorine pesticide, halohydrocarbon, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dyes, petrochemical products, etc., are of increasing environmental concern because of their devastating health effects. They are generally originated from intentional and unintentional industrial activities despite global ban on certain class of organic pollutants. Their chronic impact necessitates their prior monitoring and remediation. This chapter summarizes the status of method of detection and degradation of organic pollutants from water and soil. In particular, biological, physical, chemical, and advance oxidation processes for organic pollutants treatment are covered. An emphasis has been given on understanding the physiochemical properties of these organic pollutants in presented matrix so as better solution can be opted out for their removal. Besides, sampling, extraction, storage methods, etc., are also discussed, which have key role in quantification and removal technique performance.
