Abstract
Organic pollutant contamination in the environment is a serious and dangerous issue, especially for developing countries. Among all organic pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the more frequently discovered ones in the environment. PAH contamination is caused chiefly by anthropogenic sources, such as the disposal of residential and industrial waste and automobile air emissions. They are gaining interest due to their environmental persistence, toxicity, and probable bioaccumulation. The existence of PAHs may result in damage to the environment and living things, and there is widespread concern about the acute and chronic threats posed by the release of these contaminants. The detection and elimination of PAHs from wastewater have been the focus of numerous technological developments during recent decades. The development of sensitive and economical monitoring systems for detecting these substances has attracted a lot of scientific attention. Using several nanomaterials and nanocomposites is a promising treatment option for the identification and elimination of PAHs in aquatic ecosystems. This review elaborated on the sources of origin, pathogenicity, and widespread occurrence of PAHs. In addition, the paper highlighted the use of nanomaterial-based sensors in detecting PAHs from contaminated sites and nanomaterial-based absorbents in PAH elimination from wastewater. This review also addresses the development of Graphene and Biofunctionalized nanomaterials for the elimination of PAHs from the contaminated sites.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants (EPs) are a group of different contaminants, such as hormones, pesticides, heavy metals, and drugs, usually found in concentrations between the order of ng and µg per liter. The global population's daily city and agro-industrial activities release EPs into the environment. Due to the chemical nature of EPs and deficient wastewater treatment and management, they are transported to superficial and groundwater through the natural water cycle, where they can potentially cause harmful effects on living organisms. Recent efforts have focused on developing technology that allows EPs quantification and monitoring in real-time and in situ. The newly developed technology aims to provide accessible groundwater management that detects and treats EPs while avoiding their contact with living beings and their toxic effects. This review presents some of the recently reported techniques that have been applied to advance the detection of EPs in groundwater and potential technologies that can be used for EP removal.

[PMID: 35408267 PMCID: PMC9002670 DOI: 10.3390/s22072649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Optical chemical sensors are widely applied in many fields of modern analytical practice, due to their simplicity in preparation and signal acquisition, low costs, and fast response time. Moreover, the construction of most modern optical sensors requires neither wire connections with the detector nor sophisticated and energy-consuming hardware, enabling wireless sensor development for a fast, in-field and online analysis. In this review, the last five years of progress (from 2017 to 2021) in the field of optical chemical sensors development for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is provided. The operating mechanisms, the transduction principles and the types of sensing materials employed in single selective optical sensors and in multisensory systems are reviewed. The selected examples of optical sensors applications are reported to demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of optical chemical sensor use for POPs assessment.
