Abstract
Xenobiotics are foreign chemical substances reported in an organism which do not occur naturally or normally in that targeted organism. Environmental pollutants, hydrocarbons, food additives, oil mixtures, pesticides, other xenobiotics, synthetic polymers, carcinogens, drugs, and antioxidants are the major groups of xenobiotics. These compounds have a variety of possible hazardous impacts on the environment and ultimately on humans.
