Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), which are widely used in pesticides, explosives, dyes, and pharmaceuticals, include nitrobenzene, nitrotoluenes, nitrophenols, and nitrobenzoates. They are also significant industrial pollutants in the environment. These substances, as well as their derivatives, frequently have toxic or mutagenic properties. Wastewater containing nitroaromatic compounds can be effectively managed by using biological treatment methods that are accessible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. This review highlights the latest developments in biological treatment systems for removing NACs from wastewater. The large-scale implementation of biological treatment systems will be facilitated by future studies that focus on identifying the best operational methods and that determine how co-pollutants impact the removal of NACs from wastewater.
