AB  - This paper presents a comprehensive and critical comparison of four types of 
      constructed wetlands (CWs): free water surface CW (FWSCW), vertical flow CW 
      (VFCW), horizontal flow CW (HFCW), and hybrid CW (HCW) for the removal of 29 
      pharmaceuticals (PhCs) and 19 transformation products (TPs) using a global data 
      compiled for 247 CWs reported in 63 peer-reviewed journal papers. Biodegradation 
      (aerobic being more efficient than anaerobic) is the major removal mechanism for 
      16 out of 29 PhCs besides the influence of other processes (e.g., 
      adsorption/sorption, plant uptake, and photodegradation). The HCW performed 
      better followed by VFCW, HFCW, and FWSCW. The comparatively better removal in HCW 
      might be due to the coexistence of aerobic and anaerobic conditions and longer 
      hydraulic retention time considering more than one compartment enhances the 
      removal of PhCs (e.g., diclofenac, acetaminophen, sulfamethoxazole, 
      sulfapyridine, trimethoprim, and atenolol), which are removed under both 
      conditions and adsorption/sorption processes. The augmentation in dissolved 
      oxygen by the application of artificial aeration improved the removal of PhCs, 
      which are degraded under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, the better performance 
      of aerated CWs could be due to the establishment of various microenvironments 
      with different physicochemical conditions (aerobic and anaerobic), which 
      facilitated the contribution of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways in 
      the removal of PhCs. The removal of some of the PhCs takes place by the formation 
      of their TPs and the nature of these TPs (persistent or 
      non-biodegradable/biodegradable) plays a major role in their removal process.
