Report a risk and a proposal; Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), Emerginc Organic Contaminants (EOCs), and Magnetic Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (MWMOFs)

The problem of the lack of healthy and clean water in the last century has quickly turned from a potential danger to a real and serious problem. Water pollution is increasing gradually due to several factors such as industrialization and population growth. Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are among the most common pollutants that are produced and used in various ways and for different reasons. These substances have characteristics that double the dangers of their existence in water sources. Conventional water treatment methods cannot completely remove these pollutants, and studies have shown that their application does not bring satisfactory results. Adsorption and photochemical degradation are two methods that are suggested to remove these substances. The use of nanomaterials can be a very good option and the existence of the magnetic part simplifies their efficiency and separation. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) can also be combined with them and due to having unique features both in the field of adsorption and as photocatalysts, they improve the performance of the removal process of POPs and EOCs. For this purpose, studies and the path from idea to implementation have also been described.
