| Chemical toxicity has been recognized as a major public health risk, particularly in developing countries. This paper is an attempt to clarify concerns about the toxicity in drinking water due to organic toxicants in India. The toxicants present in water disturb the spontaneity of the mechanism and result in long/short-term diseases. The types of toxicity and their possible treatment are discussed in the present review. Continued research efforts result in some processes/technologies to remove the toxicants from water. The review includes concepts and potentialities of the technologies in a comprehensible form.
Keywords: Chemical toxicity, Organic Toxicants, Treatment, Technologies.
