AB  - The persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are environmentally stable and highly 
      toxic chemicals that accumulate in living adipose tissue and have a very 
      destructive effect on aquatic ecosystems. To analyze the evolution of the 
      concentration and prevalence of POPs such as alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH,  summation operator-HCH, 
      Heptachlor, Aldrin, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDT,  summation operator-DDT, and  summation operator-OCP in water resources, a 
      search between January 01, 1970, to February 10, 2020, was followed using a 
      systematic review and meta-analysis prevalence. Among the 2306 explored articles 
      in the reconnaissance step, 311 articles with 5315 exemplars, 56 countries, and 4 
      types of water were included in the meta-analysis study. Among all studied POPs, 
      the concentration of p,p'-DDT in water resources was the highest, especially in 
      drinking water resources. The overall rank order based on the concentration and 
      prevalence of POPs were surface water > drinking water > seawater > groundwater. 
      To identify POPs-contaminated areas, the distance from the mean relative to their 
      distribution was considered. The most to the least polluted areas included: South 
      Africa, India, Turkey, Pakistan, Canada, Hong Kong, and China. The highest 
      carcinogenic risk was observed for beta-HCH (Turkey and China), followed by alpha-HCH 
      (Mexico). The highest non-carcinogenic risk was identified for Aldrin (all 
      analyzed countries), followed by Dieldrin (Turkey) and gamma-HCH (Mexico). The Monte 
      Carlo analysis (under the assumption that gamma-HCH has a normal distribution), the 
      mean obtained was 8.22E-07 for children and 3.83E-07 for adults. This is in 
      accordance with the standard risk assessment approach. In terms of percentiles, 
      the Monte-Carlo approach indicates that 75% of child population is under the 
      1.07E-06 risk and 95% of adults under 7.35E-06.
