In this paper an effort has been made to review the literature on the role of peroxidases in the remediation and treatment of a wide spectrum of aromatic pollutants. Peroxidases can catalyse degradation/transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorines, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, phenolic compounds and dyes. These enzymes are also capable of treating various types of recalcitrant aromatic compounds in the presence of redox mediators. Immobilised peroxidases from plant and fungal sources have been used for the remediation of such types of industrial pollutants on a large scale.
