 | Pesticide Contamination in Freshwater and Soil Environs: Impacts, Threats, and Sustainable Remediation Subjects: Bioscience; Earth Sciences; Engineering & Technology; General Science; Earth Sciences; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Soil Science; Water Engineering; 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. It fills a gap in the available literature in this field and will provide valuable for academicians, researchers, agriculturists, and students.
