“…Therefore, technologies as bio-nanotechnology can serve as an important tool in the treatment of detoxification of certain pollutants using different mechanisms and nano-materials (177), as the so-called nano-pesticides. They are intelligent nanoparticles that release the compound according to the needs of the environment improving not only the crops but also decreasing their amount in the soil, water, and air (186). The nano-micelle-based products are a nano-system able to entrap harmful particles from the environment, which are the main focus in the food industry due to their ability to clear away pesticides from vegetables (187).…”

Endocrine disruptors from the environment affecting breast cancer (Review)

Evaluation of carcinogenic substances from the environment is a challenge for scientists. Recently, a novel approach based on 10 key characteristics of human carcinogens classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has emerged. Carcinogenesis depends on different mechanisms and factors, including genetic, infectious (bacteria, viruses) and environmental (chemicals) factors. Endocrine disruptors are exogenous chemicals that can interfere and impair the function of the endocrine system due to their interaction with estrogen receptors or their estrogen signaling pathways inducing adverse effects in the normal mammary development, originating cancer. They are heterogeneous chemicals and include numerous synthetic substances used worldwide in agriculture, industry and consumer products. The most common are plasticizers, such as bisphenol A (BPA), pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Xenoestrogens appear to serve an important role in the increased incidence of breast cancer in the United States and numerous other countries. Several studies have demonstrated the role of organochlorine xenoestrogens in breast cancer. Therefore, the overall cumulative exposure of women to estrogens results in an increased risk for this type of cancer. Factors like lifestyle and diet also serve a role in the increased incidence of this disease. The aim of the present study was to analyze these chemical compounds based on the key characteristics given by the IARC, with a special focus on breast cancer, to establish whether these compounds are carcinogens, and to create a model for future analysis of other endocrine disruptors.

“…Many other biodegradable polymeric nanocarriers are under development; these show promising results for use in nanoformulations for pesticides or natural compounds, such as those based on zein, cellulose, lipid/protein nanodisks, or syntetic polymers (e.g., poly‐ϵ‐caprolactone) . Moreover, particularly intriguing for the practical “consequences” are the studies on nanopolymers that are triggered under specific environmental or biotic conditions …”

Natural compounds and living organisms continue to play a limited role in crop protection, and few of them have reached the market, despite their attractiveness and the efforts made in research. Very often these products have negative characteristics compared to synthetic compounds, e.g., higher costs of production, lower effectiveness, lack of persistence, and inability to reach and penetrate the target plant. Conversely, nanotechnologies are having an enormous impact on all human activities, including agriculture, even if the production of some nanomaterials is not environmentally friendly or could have adverse effects on agriculture and the environment. Thus, certain nanomaterials could facilitate the development of formulated natural pesticides, making them more effective and more environmentally friendly. Nanoformulations can improve efficacy, reduce effective doses, and increase shelf‐life and persistence. Such controlled‐release products can improve delivery to the target pest. This review considers certain available nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for use in agriculture, discussing their properties and the feasibility of their use in sustainable crop protection, in particular, in improving the effectiveness of natural bio‐based agrochemicals. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Controlled release formulations (CRFs) represent an alternative to the conventional systems of herbicide application where the active agent is available for a specific product in duration designed to achieve the intended effect [5]. In a recent term, CRFs or delivery system is a combination of biologically active agent and excipient, usually a polymer is planned to allow delivery of the agent to the target at controlled rates over a specified period [12,30]. The herbicide CRFs may be defined as a technology wherein an active ingredient is available for a specific goal at a concentration and with a duration designed to achieve the intended effect, aiming to reach optimal biological effectiveness and to reduce any harmful effects [31].…”

Intensive use of the herbicides and other classes of chemicals products in agricultural practices has resulted in serious environmental impact, which increased the level of the herbicide residues in natural water, soil, and foodstuffs. Controlled release nano-formulation of herbicides in which the herbicides are incorporated in a nano-sized matrix might be an excellent alternative over the conventional methods of herbicides application that usually employed to control the pathogens, weeds, and several pests, thereby limiting the amount of the active ingredient available for unwanted processes. This review presents a better approach using nanotechnology for controlled release formulation of herbicides in agriculture.
