Abstract

Globally, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) gained much attention for their pragmatism as indicators of human waste and their potency as emerging contaminants. Due to their persistence in wastewater effluent, PPCPs are present in both surface and drinking waters. However, the growth in production and consumption of PPCPs leads to an increase in waste production, resulting in a number of challenges and prospects for the waste management industries. The conventional technologies used to treat effluents have shown to be incompetent to remove or reduce their concentrations within regulatory limits. Therefore, cutting-edge resources and technologies are essential to remove PPCPs to warrant water security. The present chapter provides a thorough state-of-the-art overview of the effect of PPCPs on the environment, health hazards, a summary of carbonaceous materials used for PPCP removal.
