Due to their high stability, bioaccumulation potential, and low biodegradability,the presence of pesticides in aquatic environments poses a serious environmental problem,necessitating the implementation of effective wastewater treatment solutions. The focus is placed onfour main groups of methods: oxidative, sorptive, biological, and combined approaches. Oxidativemethods include ozonation, ultraviolet (UV) treatment, photocatalysis, and the Fenton process.These technologies are effective in decomposing persistent organic compounds but often requiresignificant energy input. Sorptive methods — using activated carbon, zeolites, graphene-basedmaterials, etc. — are characterized by high availability and simplicity in application, yet theyrequire further regeneration or disposal of the sorbents. Biological methods, such as thoseinvolving activated sludge, biofilms, and microalgae, are environmentally friendly but limited intheir ability to degrade poorly biodegradable substances. The most promising direction isrecognized as the application of combined approaches that integrate the advantages of differentmethods while mitigating their drawbacks. Particular attention is given to the synergistic use ofozonation, UV treatment, Fenton processes, and biosorption. Such integrated systems can achieve ahigh degree of purification while reducing energy consumption and operational costs. It issubstantiated that further development of combined technologies is a key direction for enhancingthe efficiency of wastewater treatment from pesticidesenbiodegradationbiosorbentsFenton processpesticidessorptionwastewaterбіодеструкціябіосорбентипестицидисорбціястічні водиФентонArticleС. 32-45https://doi.org/10.20535/2218-9300120253417650009-0002-8292-82180000-0001-9181-41700009-0003-4238-34170000-0002-2237-04030000-0001-9186-94380009-0005-5568-2832
