“…For example, remediation of EDHC synthetic chemicals has limitations including high cost, low efficiency, and toxic by-products. 120 Therefore, we should treat from the source rst. It is important to pay attention to enrichment culture, that means, focusing on the mineralization of the chemical as a goal, instead of the intermediate products which may be more toxic.…”

“…Heavy metal pollution is a serious problem because it degrades the quality of air, water and soil. The toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects of heavy metals are the result of the tendency of bioaccumulation and biomagnification in living organisms [1][2][3][4][5]. Organic pollutants include volatile organic compounds (VOC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), aliphatic hydrocarbons, synthetic organic dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, etc.…”

“…Environmental remediation can be carried out in situ, i.e., directly at the site of pollution, or ex situ, i.e., outside the site of pollution, at the intended location for remediation. Due to the economy and simplicity of implementation, in situ remediation is more often applied [4][5][6][7][8]. Regardless of the environmental remediation implementation process, remediation techniques are divided into biological, chemical and physical as shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Therefore, numerous remediation techniques have been developed to reduce the hazardous effects of a polluted environment. These techniques include biological, chemical and physical remediation [4][5][6][7][8]. Although various remediation techniques are available for remediation of the polluted environment, the choice of the appropriate technique is quite challenging and depends on a number of factors, such as the composition and concentration of pollutants in the polluted medium, operating costs, efficiency, feasibility, applicability and final impact on the environment.…”

The protection of all environmental compartments (water, soil, air) is of great interest for the normal functioning of life on Earth. The environment is systematically polluted with different concentrations of physical, biological and chemical pollutants. For the purpose of environmental protection, numerous in situ and ex situ biological, chemical and physical remediation techniques have been developed. Most techniques have limitations, such as high cost, processing time or environmental feasibility. In general, biological techniques have proven to be the most environmentally friendly compared to chemical and physical techniques. Furthermore, remediation is an extremely complex procedure due to the complexity of the pollutant composition. Therefore, the implementation of individual physical, biological or chemical remediation techniques is often not sufficient for adequate remediation of the polluted environment. Accordingly, for more economical and efficient environmental remediation, it is recommended to use a combination of techniques that should meet the requirements of efficiency and treatment duration. Ultimately, this review provides a concise overview of the recent application of physical, biological and chemical remediation techniques to all compartments of the polluted environment. A critical review of existing knowledge on environmental remediation through a search of the relevant literature has helped to assess the basic challenges and limitations that arise in the issue of environmental remediation, as well as providing recommendations and guidelines for future research.

Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are synthetic compounds that can cause abnormalities in the functioning of the endocrine system of the human being, resulting in various health problems. Bisphenol‐A (BPA) is one of the important EDCs that is used in the manufacturing of plastics, food packaging canisters, and other day‐to‐day necessities. Since BPA is estrogenic in nature; its presence can affect the living component at a very low concentration. BPA and other EDCs are released from various sources like the plastic manufacturing industry, sewage treatment plants, and solid waste disposal points. Due to its global use, BPA has permeated different matrices, including our food sources. As a result, many adverse health effects have been reported, considering which, their treatment is necessary. Under the present investigation, we have reviewed various studies dealing with the sources, concentrations, and impact of BPA on the environment. In addition, we have also incorporated different treatment technologies including phytoremediation and bioremediation which can remove BPA effectively. Regardless of significant developments in our understanding of EDCs, uncertainties and knowledge gaps still occur and more studies are required to eradicate the problems of BPA contamination from our environment.
