- Abstract
Emerging contaminants (ECs) include endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals (lipid regulators, antibiotics, diuretics, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, stimulant drugs, antiseptics, analgesic, beta blockers), detergents, disinfectants, and personal care products. The residues from these compounds have become a concerning because of their bioactive presence on environmental matrices, especially water bodies. The development of technologies, aiming the secure and efficient removal of these compounds from the environment or event to remove them before they achieve the environment, is necessary. In these context, the present review is about promising eco-friendly, low-cost and specially applied, including biological processes using microalgae, bacteria, enzymes produced by fungi, and adsorbent materials such as those recycled from other processes waste. The processes where revised considering the removal mechanism and the efficiency rate.
