In spite of the fact that waste water reuse could significantly enrich nation’s water resources, however, there are potential risks of human exposure to pathogenic and chemical contaminants from waste water reuse. Toxic chemicals such as pollutants, pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins are drained into freshwater from sewage treatment plants and industrial effluents. Several studies have identified some resistant strains of bacteria which survive the antibiotic treatment during the recycling process of water. In a recent study it also has been concluded that SARS-COV2, the causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic is found to be present in wastewater increasing the risk of contamination. The presence of these substances is of utmost concern because of their reduced biodegradability which might lead to biomagnification. Even after treatment using it for potable use is not safe becaus
