Several organic pollutants are commonly found in groundwater. Here are a few examples: Benzene,Toluene,Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs),Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs),Pesticides...
Per and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - Found in water supplies world wide, both ground and surface water. Possibly the largest world wide water crisis contaminant caused by chemical industry, manufacturing, wastewater discharge, atmospheric deposition, and spreading of biosolids.
Dear prof.pat iam honoured & grateful from your response,thanks & high regards
Dear Prof.Phil brook im extremely thankful for your quick response.
High regards
Here are a few common organic pollutants that are often found in groundwater:
sewage provides various pathogens, nitrates,and large number of organic chemicals to ground water.

"Conclusion
One of the major problems that the twenty-first century is facing is environmental pollution, and research communities are paying close attention. The contamination of organic substances is posing threats to human health and harming our environment, so there is an immediate need to resolve this problem with efficient solutions. Cleaning up large-scale water pollution from mining activities and groundwater contamination from waste sites requires science-based decisions that take into account the specific hydrological conditions, the microbial and geochemical transformation pathways, and possible remediation technologies to choose the most effective strategies. Despite the anticipated advances in water treatment technologies, efforts to reduce introduction of problematic chemicals into the (aquatic) environment should be given highest priority. This requires the improvement of the scientific tools to identify those existing chemicals that need to be substituted and phased out, and political support will be needed to enforce such action. This chapter analyses the occurrence of groundwater contaminants, including natural and manmade.
Contaminants found in groundwater cover a broad range of physical, inorganic, and organic chemicals and radioactive parameters. The increasing trends of industrial effluents including municipal sewage are the main sources for contaminants, chiefly organic pollutants, in groundwater."
