Abstract: Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are an important class of emerging contaminants that have been detected (and are still being detected) in aquatic environments such as surface waters, groundwater, wastewater, runoff, and landfill leachates. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine disruptor that is acutely toxic to the living organisms. BPA has been widely used in the manufacture of sunscreen lotions, nail polish, body wash/lotions, bar soaps, shampoo, conditioners, shaving creams, and face lotions/cleanser, besides its other industrial applications. In the present review, an overview of the recent research studies dealing with the BPA removal from water by adsorption method is presented. We have reviewed various conventional and non-conventional adsorbents which have been used for BPA removal from water. It is evident from the literature reviewed that modified adsorbents and composite materials have shown promising results for BPA removal from water. Literature has been extensively discussed in terms of adsorption capacities, fitted isotherm and kinetic models and thermodynamic aspects
