“…Among these pollutants, phthalate esters (PAEs), which are broadly used in agriculture, commerce, and industry as agrochemicals and plasticizers, have drawn growing concerns. They can gradually migrate from the products (especially aged products) and easily nd their way to the environment during the manufacturing, application, and disposal of relevant products, with concentrations of up to over one thousand micrograms per liter or kilogram in the environment (Dong et al, 2020;Fatoki and Ogunfowokan, 1993;Kaewlaoyoong et al, 2018;Olujimi et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2019).…”

“…For example, during a comprehensive analysis of wastewater sludge from 40 WWTPs in Korea, an average of 71 µg/g of DEHP, 22 µg/g of diisononyl phthalate, and 4.3 µg/g of di-n-butyl phthalate was quanti ed(Lee et al, 2019). Similarly, during the investigation of seven treatment plants in Taiwan all employing activated sludge process as secondary treatment, the cumulative concentration of phthalates in sludge was detected in the range of 7.4 µg/g to 138.6 µg/g(Dong et al, 2020…”

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are a class of emerging contaminants capable of interfering with the normal hormonal functioning of humans and other organisms. Even minute concentrations of EDCs in natural receiving water bodies can be minacious and are raising concern globally due to their connection with rising cases in reproductive, immune system, and developmental-related health disorders. These EDCs are released from anthropogenic sources and are routinely detected in the natural environment especially in wastewater. Incapacitated by poor infrastructure and design, conventional wastewater treatment facilities fail to satisfactorily remove the recalcitrant organic pollutants like, parabens, phenols, pesticides, etc., making them one of the biggest sources of EDCs discharged into the environment. Neoteric techniques such as, electrochemical oxidation, electro-Fenton process, electrocoagulation, and other electrochemical technologies (ETs) have emerged as a robust technology for eliminating biorefractory contaminants from different effluents. The setups used in ETs are easy to fabricate, require low chemical additions, produce minimal sludge, and their faster/efficient degradation of recalcitrant compounds give them an edge over their conventional counterparts. However, expensive electrodes and substantial power consumption limit the scale-up application of ETs. Thus, this review attempts to present a holistic view of the applicability and feasibility of ETs with respect to EDCs attenuation from contaminated water and their advancement as a mainstream wastewater management technology.
