Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), plastic polymers, and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are examples of ocean garbage. These compounds have a long half-life, bioaccumulate in the environment, harm marine flora and wildlife, and, as a result, have a negative impact on human health. Seaweeds are currently attracting a lot of attention from scientists due to the bioactive chemicals they produce. A variety of seaweed products have unique nutraceutical, pharmacological, and biological qualities. Polysaccharides are the most commonly utilised compounds, with applications in a variety of industries and more advanced therapeutic applications. In addition, anthropogenic activities polluting the marine environment from the surface to the deepest sediment has become more concerning in the last 70 years. As a result, the current analysis focuses on the state of organic pollutants in the marine environment, their consequences, and the numerous substances found in seaweed, as well as their applications and Nutraceutical properties.
