Role of Microbes and Nanomaterials in the Removal of Pesticides from Wastewater

Pesticides are a class of xenobiotic compounds that recalcitrant and show persistence in the environment for longer period time. Research studies have linked their potential mutagenicity, teratogenicity, carcinogenicity. The accumulation pesticides water sources due to runoff from agricultural lands has posed serious threat biota ecosystem as well human population. Long-term exposure can cause neurological disorders, reproductive complications, cancer, immunological, pulmonary diseases. use dramatically surged nonagricultural practices. Tons applied fields, but limited amount reaches target organism while rest is wasted gets accumulated soil or ends up like groundwater river, which results eradication nontarget organisms. A variety used pest management, such organochlorine (DDT), carbamates (carbaryl), organophosphates (malathion), pyrethroids (pyrethrins). These chemicals highly toxic flora fauna because nonbiodegradable nature. Biomagnification usually leads various problems beings. Organochlorines DDT been banned many developed countries these reasons. Therefore, removal wastewater natural utmost importance. Conventional methods possess limitations; therefore, there requirement an alternative method efficiently remove pollutants wastewater. In this review, environmental impacts health-related complications microbial remediation approaches different nanomaterials pesticide discussed.
