Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are the group of chemicals which are highly resistant to degradation and are harmful to ecosystem and the human health.Many studies have shown that chronic low level exposure to the POPS makes one susceptible to various diseases. Majority of the POPs are known to disrupt normal functioning of the endocrine system.Many efforts are being applied to remove POPs from the environment such as bio remediation but mostly the efforts are being more focused on banning the production and use of the POPs rather than the removal.
