Emerging Contaminants (PFAS, Microplastics, Pharmaceuticals): Detection, Fate, and Remediation Strategies - A Review
Abstract
Emerging contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), microplastics, and pharmaceuticals are increasingly considered threats to environmental and human health because of their persistence, bioaccumulation tendency, and complex ecosystem interactions. This review consolidates current understanding of their sources, ecological behaviour, detection methods, and remediation strategies. It highlights the critical need for comprehensive approaches, advanced monitoring technologies, and policy measures to reduce their adverse effects.
