“…The concentration of these pollutants in agricultural waters used for irrigation has been reported to range from 10 to 500 ng/L. The concentration of these pollutants in crops was found to be ranging from 1 to 7500 ng/kg [ 64 ]. Groundwater contamination with ASs has a number of different direct and indirect routes including percolation of treated wastewater in soil aquifer treatment, infiltration of wastewater-influenced surface waters, landfill leachate, municipal wastewater reservoirs, septic systems, and percolation of manure on agricultural land [ 8 , 23 , 65 , 66 ].…”

Artificial sweeteners are posing a new threat to the environment. The water ecosystem is the primary recipient of these emerging contaminants. Once ingested, sufficient amount of these artificial sweeteners escape unchanged from the human body and are added to the environment. However, some are added in the form of their breakdown products through excretion. Artificial sweeteners are resistant to wastewater treatment processes and are therefore continuously introduced into the water environments. However, the environmental behavior, fate, and long-term ecotoxicological contributions of artificial sweeteners in our water resources still remain largely unknown. Some artificial sweeteners like saccharin are used as a food additive in animal feeds. It also forms the degradation product of the sulfonylurea herbicides. All artificial sweeteners enter into the wastewater treatment plants from the industries and households. From the effluents, they finally reside into the receiving environmental bodies including wastewaters, groundwaters, and surface waters. The global production of these sweeteners is several hundred tons annually and is continuously being added into the environment.

“…Agricultural pollution is a global environmental concern that is mainly caused by the function of many farming inputs (such as pesticides and fertilizers) and numerous practices, such as excessive soil tillage and runoff (El-Ramady et al 2020). Agricultural pollutants may encompass unsustainable use of agrochemicals resulting in accumulation of heavy metals, halogenated compounds, phenols and organic compounds such as pesticides, insecticides which are one of the most pressing issues confronting agriculture around the world (Singh et al 2020a). These agro-pollutants are extremely toxic and can have a negative impact on soils, water and air (Khan et al 2020;Singh et al 2020a;Ken and Sinha 2020).…”

“…Indeed, injudicious use of excessive amount of pesticides may result in volatilization, oxidation and photolysis and only about 0.1 percent of pesticides reach the targeted species (Liang et al 2017). Toxic pollutants have increased to alarming levels in the environment, deteriorating environmental quality, disrupting ecosystems, and negatively impacting human health (Singh et al 2020a). As a result, developing innovative techniques capable of eliminating agro-pollutants in trace amounts is critical.…”

The rise in environmental pollutant levels in recent years is mostly attributable to anthropogenic activities such as industrial, agricultural and other activities. Additionally, these activities may produce excessive levels of dangerous toxicants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants including pesticide and herbicide chemicals, and sewage discharges from residential and commercial sources. With a focus on environmentally friendly, sustainable technology, new technologies such as combined process of nanotechnology and bioremediation are urgently needed to accelerate the cost-effective remediation process to alleviate toxic contaminants than the conventional remediation methods. Numerous studies have shown that nanoparticles possess special qualities including improved catalysis and adsorption as well as increased reactivity. Currently, microorganisms and their extracts are being used as promising, environmentally friendly catalysts for engineered nanomaterial. In the long term, this combination of both technologies called nano-bioremediation may significantly alter the field of environmental remediation since it is more intelligent, safe, environmentally friendly, economical and green. This review provides an overview of soil and water remediation techniques as well as the use of nano-bioremediation, which is made from various living organisms. Additionally, current developments related to the mechanism, model and kinetic studies for remediation of agricultural contaminants have been discussed.

“…As a result, proper selection, design, and adjustment of remediation technology operations based on the properties of contaminants and soils, as well as system performance, are critical to the effective treatment of a polluted site (Derakhshan Nejad et al, 2018). Remediation technologies are many and varied but can generally be categorized into ex-situ and in-situ methods (Singh et al, 2020). Ex-situ methods involve excavation of affected soils and subsequent treatment at the surface as well as extraction of contaminated groundwater and treatment at the surface.…”

A polluted site can have serious consequences for human health, water supplies, ecosystems, and even building structures, which is why various safeguards have been put in place to address contamination issues. This systematic review will conduct a literature search on remediation technologies for polluted sites. Sources of information and search, eligibility and exclusion criteria, and a systematic searching strategy are used to retrieve articles related to remediation technologies for polluted sites. Heavy metal pollution in the soil is a worldwide problem that humanity is attempting to address. Heavy metal pollution can be found in varying degrees in the soils of all countries worldwide. Heavy metal-contaminated soil is cleaned using chemical, physical, and biological remediation technologies. Many methods have been developed over the last thirty years to remediate oil-contaminated soil. Biological techniques such as phytoremediation and land farming are used to remediate oil-contaminated soil. Groundwater poisoning by heavy metals, which can come from natural soil sources or man-made sources, is a major public health concern. Because contaminated groundwater serves as a source of drinking water for billions of people worldwide, remediation is a top priority. The best remediation technologies for containing groundwater water are pump and treatment, excavation method, permeable reactive barrier, air sparging, electrokinetic remediation, chemical oxidation, and bioremediation. The selection of remediation methods necessitates a thorough examination of technological effectiveness and economic environmental safety. Personal and trial examinations of remediation advancements continue. As a result, in future research, investigating the zero-valent iron powder restoration method in conjunction with other restoration methods to treat soil heavy metal pollution is critical to soil restoration and ecological restoration, revealing the main influencing factors of the restoration process as well as the promotion and implementation of this method.
