Modern age environmental problems are arising from the extreme desire of the modern human population for more efficient and comfortable life. To amplify the quality of life is coupled with the industrial revolution and pollutant generation. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, rapid industrialization and urbanization has produced huge amounts of waste materials, thereby creating an extra burden to our environment. Every year, the global pollutant budget is increasing multiple fold by means of natural (e.g. natural release of methane gasses, volcano eruption, acid rain, rock weathering and releasing toxic metals) as well as anthropogenic activities (domestic waste, carbon emission from fossil fuel burning in automobile and energy generation, radioactive materials from nuclear reactors, polycyclic aromatic compounds from oil industries a
