“…Several organic compounds have been found in community drinking water sources around the world recently. Organic compounds such as carbamazepine, atrazine, caffeine, and metolachlor are regularly found in drinking water (Mukhopadhyay et al, 2022).…”

“…Sulphate concentrations greater than 250 mg/l, according to the WHO, should be notified to health authorities since they might cause catharsis, dehydration, and gastrointestinal and digestive disorders (WHO, 2010). Organic compounds like carbamazepine, atrazine, and caffeine, are known to pose a severe risk to human health in these contaminated water ingesting communities(Mukhopadhyay et al, 2022)Dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, arthritis, bone damage, osteoporosis, muscular damage, weariness, joint-related difficulties, and chronicle issues can all be caused by high levels of fluoride ions in drinking water(Solanki et al, 2022). Chronic exposure to arsenic harms several organ systems and has been linked to diabetes, hypertension, peripheral blood vessel problems, skin, bladder, kidney, and lung malignancies among other cancers(Xu et al,2020).…”

Main objective of this review is to analyse potential sources of pollution, constituents, consumer health risks related to contaminated drinking water, and remediation strategies. Dug wells with poorly protected well mouth-covering or unlined wells are more susceptible to biological and chemical contamination. Physical irregularities in the lining and covering of the well act as a door to the entry of pollutants into the well. Residential, municipal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural activities can have an impact on ground water quality. Agriculture is one of the most common human activities that have an impact on both surface and groundwater. Water resource quality is determined by geological characteristics such as soil kinds, topography slope, plant roots, water dissolution with minerals/soils, and the radioactive decay of elements. Septic tanks, pit latrines, and sewer systems are the main source of faecal contamination in the groundwater system. Pesticides, fertilisers, and livestock dung frequently introduce heavy metals into aquifers, posing a direct hazard to human health. Waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, syphilis, and typhoid have been linked to a lack of adequate water. Drinking water containing various anions and heavy metals, such as Cd, Cr, Co, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn, and others, has a substantial negative impact on human health. Drinking water treatment removes impurities from the source water, making it safe to drink. The long-term goal of decontamination is to detect and remove hazardous compounds from water cost-effectively and reliably.

“…2–4 However, in the last few decades, the finding of geogenic and anthropogenic pollutants in groundwater has resulted in constraints in its usage and supply for communities. 5,6 Of these, non-point-sourced, geogenic, pervasive groundwater arsenic (As), a well-known carcinogen that is reported from aquifers across a few dozens of geographic provinces across the world, is regarded as the most widespread threat to global, safe drinking water supply. 7–9…”

“…Several studies have been conducted in the UK, US, Australia and Japan to better understand the occurrence, behavior and fate of PCPs in the environment [48]. PCPs are not completely and systematically removed during conventional wastewater treatment processes [49] and can often be encountered in surface water or groundwater through soil leaching, posing a potential risk to aquatic organisms and human health [50][51][52][53][54][55]. Cosmetic industries, as well as the manufacturers of PCPs, have used biological techniques for the treatment of wastewater for years, with the most frequently used technique being aerobic activated sludge (AS) [27].…”

Sustainable Treatment Techniques for Emerging Pollutants—The Case of Personal Hygiene Products

et al. 2022

Personal care products (PCPs) enter wastewater primarily through greywater. Treatment plants have not been able to remove this type of contaminant, although PCP abatement techniques have been developed in recent years. The objective of the current study has been to encounter the sustainable technique that keeps the optimal balance between the criteria considered in the comparison. Therefore, a bibliographic review was conducted in scientific databases of the last eight years, demonstrating that co-composting, anaerobic–aerobic sequencing bioreactors and contaminant absorption through the use of carbon nanotubes are the ones with the least environmental impact. Subsequently, the Saaty and Modified Saaty methods were applied, with a comparative criteria of construction costs, maintenance costs, efficiency and the stage of development. The results indicated that the co-composting technique is the best sustainable technique of those studied, with a score of 0.86/1, which means that the criteria analyzed maintain very close values between them. The co-composting technique yields a low environmental impact in eliminating personal care products. This research work constitutes a practical and easy-to-use tool for decision makers, since it allows finding an optimal elimination treatment for PCPs.
