Emerging contaminants (ECs), a class of contaminants with low concentrations but significant harm, have received a lot of attention in recent times. ECs comprises of various chemicals that enter the environment every day. In today's modern lifestyle, we use many chemical-based products. These persist in wastewater and ultimately enter the water bodies, causing serious problems to the human and aquatic ecosystem. This is because the conventional wastewater treatment methods are inefficient in identifying and removing such contaminants. Aiming for a long-term, effective solution to this issue, Adsorption was proposed. Although several adsorbents are already present in the market, which have proved beneficial in removing such ECs, not all are affordable. This article reviews replacing costly adsorbents with agriculture-based biomass that are abundant, inexpensive, and biodegradable and possess excellent adsorption capacity. The objectives of this article is to look at adsorption as a viable treatment option for emerging pollutants, as well as sophisticated and cost-effective emerging contaminants treatment options.

新兴污染物（ECs）是一类浓度低但危害显着的污染物，近年来受到了广泛关注。EC 由每天进入环境的各种化学物质组成。在当今的现代生活方式中，我们使用许多化学制品。这些残留在废水中并最终进入水体，对人类和水生生态系统造成严重问题。这是因为传统的废水处理方法在识别和去除此类污染物方面效率低下。为了长期有效地解决这个问题，提出了吸附法。尽管市场上已经有几种吸附剂已被证明对去除此类 EC 有益，但并非所有吸附剂都能负担得起。本文综述了用丰富、廉价、可生物降解且具有优异吸附能力的农业生物质替代昂贵的吸附剂。本文的目的是将吸附视为新兴污染物的可行处理方案，以及复杂且具有成本效益的新兴污染物处理方案。
