Abstract

HO is essential for life to exist on earth; it is important to guarantee both the quality and supply of water to satisfy world demand. However, it became contaminated by a number of hazardous, inorganic industrial pollutants, which caused a number of issues like irrigation activities and unsafe human ingestion. Long-term exposure to harmful substances can result in respiratory, immunological, and neurological illnesses, cancer, and problems during pregnancy. Therefore, removing hazardous substances from wastewater and natural water sources is crucial. It is necessary to develop an alternate method that can effectively remove these toxins from water bodies, as conventional methods have several drawbacks. This review primarily aims to achieve the following goals: 1) to discuss the distribution of harmful chemicals: 2) to give specifics on numerous possible strategies for getting rid of hazardous chemicals, and 3) its effects on the environment and consequences for human health have been examined.
