Pharmaceuticals, personal care items, steroid hormones, and agrochemicals are among the synthetic and indigenous products that make up micropollutants, also known as emerging contaminants. Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPPs) are a class of developing micropollutants that can harm living organisms even at low concentrations. Many are detected in surface water and wastewater from the treatment process, with quantities ranging from ng L-1 to gL-1; however, residual PPPs at dangerously high levels have indeed recently been recognized in the ecosystem. Residential sewage treatment plant (STP) dump the largest majority of these pollutants into the environment on a regular basis. As a result of its robust structure, it has a longer lifespan in the environment. This review article discusses how surface water pollutants such pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, and perfluorinated compounds affect water quality, as well as the most cost-effective adsorbents for removing these PPPs. The goal of this study is to provide information about the origins of PPP, as well as diagnostic procedures and treatment options. Research on developing contaminants is also aimed at evaluating the efficacy and affordability of adsorption.
