AB  - This review focuses on the challenges and advances associated with the treatment 
      and management of microorganic pollutants, encompassing pesticides, industrial 
      chemicals, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment. The 
      translocation of these contaminants across multiple media, particularly through 
      atmospheric transport, emphasizes their pervasive nature and the subsequent 
      ecological risks. The urgency to develop cost-effective remediation strategies 
      for emerging organic contaminants is paramount. As such, wastewater-based 
      epidemiology and the increasing concern over estrogenicity are explored. By 
      incorporating conventional and innovative wastewater treatment techniques, this 
      article highlights the integration of environmental management strategies, 
      analytical methodologies, and the importance of renewable energy in waste 
      treatment. The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive perspective on the 
      current scenario, imminent threats, and future directions in mitigating the 
      effects of these pollutants on the environment. Furthermore, the review 
      underscores the need for international collaboration in developing standardized 
      guidelines and policies for monitoring and controlling these microorganic 
      pollutants. It advocates for increased investment in research and development of 
      advanced materials and technologies that can efficiently remove or neutralize 
      these contaminants, thereby safeguarding environmental health and promoting 
      sustainable practice.
