“…Chlorophenols (CPs) are a class of significant pollutants in wastewater effluents since they are used extensively in the manufacture of germicides, fungicides, herbicides, pesticide, and wood protectors (Ge et al, 2017). Owing to their wide application and physicochemical properties, chlorophenols have been detected in groundwater, sediments, soil, and organisms (Shu et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2017). Some chlorophenols are now listed as priority pollutants due to their high toxicity, low biodegradability, potential carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic, and persistence in the environment (Liu et al, 2019).…”
