Abstract
Pesticides are the man‐made creation to protect the crops and household items. Too often running water can become insidiously polluted by pesticides. In this review, the possible paths in which water can be contaminated by pesticides are exposed. There are several techniques for water remediation. Membrane separation technique has its potentiality and is an advantageous technique amongst all. The performances of some commercial membranes in pesticides separation from water are enlisted. Factors such as the nature of membranes, nature of pesticides, presence of organic and inorganic matters, temperature and/or pH influence the pesticide separation are discussed.
