        abstract = {Water contamination by chemical pollutants is a global environmental and public health challenge. This review examines the occurrence, hazards, and remediation strategies related to various chemical pollutants in water. It provides an integrated discussion on heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and emerging contaminants such as microplastics. These compounds enter aquatic systems from diverse sources including industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, municipal wastewater, and atmospheric deposition. Their persistence, potential for bioaccumulation, and synergistic toxicities threaten both aquatic ecosystems and human health. The hazards include endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and developmental disorders, with long-term exposure resulting in chronic health effects. In response, researchers have developed a range of treatment technologies that span from conventional physical and chemical methods to advanced oxidation processes, adsorption, membrane filtration, and bioremediation. Emerging technologies particularly those integrating nanomaterials and smart sensor networks offer promising prospects for real-time monitoring and enhanced pollutant removal. This review synthesizes evidence from 20 authentic studies to delineate current scientific understanding, evaluate the effectiveness of existing methods, and identify knowledge gaps. By comparing laboratory-scale experiments with field applications and pilot studies, the paper underscores the need for integrated treatment systems and robust regulatory policies. In summary, the work highlights both the complexity of chemical pollutant mixtures and the interdisciplinary efforts necessary to achieve sustainable water remediation, ensuring safe water for ecosystems and communities.},
