Environmental Evaluation of Organohalogens and Removal Methods

Abstract

Organohalogens are organic compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine). Having adverse effects on the environment and public health these compounds, which have been originated naturally and anthropogenically, have to be investigated carefully. In recent years, organohalogen accumulation by living organisms have been examined and removal alternatives have been studied due to their carcinogenic characteristics. There have been physicochemical and biological removal methods of organohalogens. Primarily source, type and concentration of these pollutants have been determined when any regional pollution has occurred. Afterwards an appropriate removal method of this pollutant has been selected. In this study, a general assessment of removal methods and accumulation of organohalogens has been made in terms of definition, formation and adverse effects of them. Keywords: Biological treatment, physicochemical treatment, organohalogens
