AB  - Water is an essential moiety for the human use since a long time. Availability of 
      good-quality water is very essential, as it is used in almost all the industrial, 
      agricultural, and household activities. However, several factors such as 
      increased urbanization and industrialization, extensive use of chemicals, natural 
      weathering of rocks, and human ignorance led to incorporation of enormous 
      toxicants into the water. The water toxicants are broadly classified as 
      inorganic, organic, and radiological toxicants. Inorganic toxicants include heavy 
      metals (As, Cr, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pb) and metalloids, ammonia, nitrate, and fluoride. 
      Uranium is included in radiological toxicants which also causes chemical 
      toxicity. Organic pollutants include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 
      polychlorinated biphenyls, phenolic compounds, phthalate esters, pesticides, 
      pharmaceutical and personal care products, perchlorates, and flame retardants. 
      These toxicants are harmful for the ecosystem as well as for the human beings 
      causing different types of health complications like lung cancer, nasal cancer, 
      gingivitis, severe vomiting and abdominal pain, hormonal imbalance, skeletal 
      damage, neurotoxicity like Alzheimer and Parkinson disease, renal toxicity, 
      nephrotoxicity, etc. The USEPA and WHO specified the permissible concentration of 
      these pollutants in the drinking water. Determination techniques having high 
      sensitivity, low cost, rapid onsite, and real-time detection of traces of water 
      pollutants are discussed. This review also covers in depth about the remediation 
      techniques, for the control of water toxicants, such as chelation of the heavy 
      metals, intoxication of pollutants using various plants, adsorption of toxicants 
      using different sorbent medias, and photocatalytic breakdown of persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs).
