contents <p><span>There has been a growing perception of organic pollutants as a threat to the environment. Because of their high persistence in the soil and significant toxicity at extremely low levels of exposure, organic contaminants pose a constant threat in the ecosystem. The most prevalent categories of organic pollutants found in the environment are pesticides, dye pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane etc. However, researchers have gathered a great deal of knowledge about the source, pathways of contamination to the environment, interactions with constituents, impact on soil microbes and degradability by plants, uptake by plants, and contamination of food. The multifaceted effects on the ecosystem include contaminated food, water, and air, decreased soil enzyme activity that disrupts nutrient transformation processes, decreased biodiversity, and mutagenicity in microorganisms, among other things. Nonetheless, the review covered the origins, effects, and eventual disposal of organic pollutants within the ecosystem.</span></p>
