SINOPSIS
Any foreign chemical substance that is unusually present within an organism or is unexpectedly found in the environment at a higher concentration than the permissible limits can be termed a xenobiotic or a pollutant. Such substances include carcinogens, drugs, food additives, hydrocarbons, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides or even some natural compounds. Pollutants are known for their higher persistence and pervasiveness, and along with their transformed products, they can remain in and interact with the environment for prolonged periods. In this article, the classification of such substances based on their nature, use, physical state, pathophysiological effects, and sources is discussed. The effects of pollutants on the environment, their biotransformation in terms of bioaccumulation, and the different types of remediation such as in situ and ex situ remediation, are also presented.
