In the previous few decades, new foreign substances of arising concern present in soil, water and air have acquired critical consideration because of their antagonistic effect on the environ and human wellbeing. The origin of emerging contaminants (ECs) has been recognized in various forms like pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting compounds and personal care products. Personal care products, drugs and other emerging contaminants have been detected in waters normally in ng/L. This review throws light on the threats possessed by emerging contaminants and the various research attempts that have been made to enhance the effectiveness of remediation methods or establish new modalities to treat the analyte samples successfully in wastewater and the habitat. This survey will also review the various analytical and separation techniques utilized to identify the emerging contaminants which are of great concern present in pharmaceutical contaminants. The later part of this work also emphasis on the effect of emerging contaminants on human health and environment.
