AB  - The intensification of urbanisation and industrial activities significantly 
      exacerbates the distribution of toxic contaminations into the aqueous 
      environment. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have received considerable 
      attention in the past few decades because of their persistence, long-distance 
      migration, potential bioaccumulation, latent toxicity for humans and wildlife. 
      There is no doubt that POPs cause serious effects on the global ecosystem. 
      Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple, safe and sustainable approach to 
      remove POPs from water bodies. Among other conventional techniques, the 
      adsorption process has proven to be a more effective method for eliminating POPs 
      and to a larger extent meet discharge regulations. Nanomaterials can effectively 
      adsorb POPs from aqueous solutions. For most POPs, a >70% adsorptive removal 
      efficiency was achieved. The major mechanisms for POPS uptake by nano-adsorbents 
      includes electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic (van der Waals, pi-pi and electron 
      donor-acceptor) interaction and hydrogen bonding. Nano-adsorbent can sustain a 
      >90% POPs adsorptive removal for about 3 cycles and reuseable for up to 10 
      cycles. Challenges around adsorbent ecotoxicity and safe disposal were also 
      discussed. The present review evaluated recent research outcomes on nanomaterials 
      that are employed to remove POPs in water systems.
