Pesticide Contamination in Freshwater and Soil Environs : Impacts, Threats, and Sustainable Remediation

"Taking into consideration that the agricultural industry is greatly dependent on pesticide chemicals to deal with the damage caused due to pests, this new volume details the challenges along with the bioremediation and remediation measures, such as the use of beneficial microorganisms, polymeric nanocomposites for nanoremediation, phytoremediation, and more. It looks at pesticide contamination from agricultural activities in a variety of different environs and a selection of sustainable and eco-friendly remediation approaches. It provides a spectrum of concepts, ideas, and knowledge related to the detrimental actions of pesticides on the environment directly and on human beings indirectly and provides insight into sustainable and advanced pesticide remediation technology. Pesticide Contamination in Freshwater and Soil Environs: Impacts, Threats, and Sustainable Remediation fills a gap in the available literature in this field and will provide valuable for academicians, researchers, agriculturists, and students."-- Provided by publisher Environmental and Pesticide Pollution / Hilal Ahmad Ganaie -- Pesticide Contamination in Water: Perspectives and Concerns / Nowsheeba Rashid, Amir Hussain Dar, and Ifra Ashraf -- Use of Pesticides in Agriculture: Impacts on Soil, Plant and Human Health / Zia Ur Rahman Farooqi, Abdul Kareem, Muhammad Ashar Ayub, Muhmmad Mahroz Hussain, Nukshab Zeeshan, and Muhammad Tahir Shehzad -- Pesticide Pollution: Management and Challenges / Suraj Negi, Aishwarya Rani, Allen H.
