The effluents present in the water resources leads unqualified for various domestic and irrigation purposes. The waste water treatment purely depends upon the volume of contaminants. The objective of the study was to gives a detailed discussion about the chemical methods and different types of QDs involved, examining their effluents removing efficiency, the selectivity and sensitive detection of various chemicals present in the contaminated water bodies.
