Abstract

Use of surfactants is increasing day by day, and it has created a lot of water and soil pollutions all over the globe. Majority of surfactants are not biodegradable, and therefore it is likely to reach an alarming situation, if not controlled timely. As it is used in a wide range of products like detergents, shampoos, floor cleaning liquids, cosmetic products, etc., its use cannot be completely checked. Here the problem related to its excess in environment, classification in various types, etc. has been discussed along with its detection or determination in different samples of water and soil. Apart from it various attempts that have been made to either degrade or to remove different nonbiodegradable surfactants have also been summarized. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
