“…The use of pesticides often results in a loss of biodiversity due to their high toxicity to birds, plants, and animals [48]. Additionally, these compounds are widely distributed in the environment and have been detected in water, soil, sewage sludge, sediment, and the aquatic biota [49][50][51][52][53][54]. In human beings, they may increase the risk of psychiatric [55] and endocrine-disrupting disorders [56] and promote renal, neurological, hepatic, and reproductive problems, even in low levels [57][58][59].…”

Carbon nanotubes have received enormous attention in the development of electrochemical sensors by promoting electron transfer reactions, decreasing the work overpotential within great surface areas. The growing concerns about environmental health emphasized the necessity of continuous monitoring of pollutants. Pesticides have been successfully used to control agricultural and public health pests; however, intense use can cause a number of damages for biodiversity and human health. In this sense, carbon nanotubes-based electrochemical sensors have been proposed for pesticide monitoring combining different electrode modification strategies and electroanalytical techniques. In this paper, we provide a review of the recent advances in the use of carbon nanotubes for the construction of electrochemical sensors dedicated to the environmental monitoring of pesticides. Future directions, perspectives, and challenges are also commented.

“…The agriculture sector is considered as one of the economy pillars in many developing nations [1]. However, continuous use of agrochemicals such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides in this sector is detrimental to human health such as infant methemoglobinemia [2] and which also cause ecological imbalance [3,4]. The use of chemical fertilizer will also cause air and ground water pollution resulting Processes 2020, 8, 1681 of 16 from eutrophication.…”

The Effects of Biofertilizers on Growth, Soil Fertility, and Nutrients Uptake of Oil Palm (Elaeis Guineensis) under Greenhouse Conditions

The full dependency on chemical fertilizers in oil palm plantation poses an enormous threat to the ecosystem through the degradation of soil and water quality through leaching to the groundwater and contaminating the river. A greenhouse study was conducted to test the effect of combinations of biofertilizers with chemical fertilizer focusing on the soil fertility, nutrient uptake, and the growth performance of oil palms seedlings. Soils used were histosol, spodosol, oxisol, and ultisol. The three treatments were T1: 100% chemical fertilizer (NPK 12:12:17), T2: 70% chemical fertilizer + 30% biofertilizer A (CF + BFA), and T3: 70% + 30% biofertilizer B (CF + BFB). T2 and T3, respectively increased the growth of oil palm seedlings and soil nutrient status but seedlings in oxisol and ultisol under T3 had the highest in almost all parameters due to the abundance of more efficient PGPR. The height of seedlings in ultisol under T3 was 22% and 17% more than T2 and T1 respectively, with enhanced girth size, chlorophyll content, with improved nutrient uptake by the seedlings. Histosol across all treatments has a high macronutrient content suggesting that the rate of chemical fertilizer application should be revised when planting using the particular soil. With the reduction of chemical fertilizer by 25%, the combined treatment with biofertilizers could enhance the growth of the oil palm seedlings and soil nutrient properties regardless of the soil orders.

“…Fipronil is extensively used as broad-spectrum insecticide in crop production [15]. Detection and validation of fipronil metabolites are typically performed using different chromatography techniques such as GC and HPLC [16][17][18][19]. Despite being effective, these techniques require multi-step analysis are time-consuming, expensive, and also need trained staff.…”

A Facile, Sensitive and Rapid Sensing Platform Based on CoZnO for Detection of Fipronil; an Environmental Toxin

et al. 2020

A sensitive detection of extremely toxic phenylpyrazole insecticide, ‘Fipronil’ is presented. Currently, the advancement of approaches for the detection of insecticides at low concentrations with less time is important for environmental safety assurance. Considering this fact, an effort has been made to develop an electrospun CoZnO nanofiber (NF) based label‐free electrochemical system for the detection of fipronil. The CoZnO NF were characterized using different techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), Energy Dispersive X‐Ray Analysis (EDX), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman Spectroscopy. Based on the experimental results, the proposed platform displayed a linear response for fipronil in the attogram/mL range despite the multiple interfering agents. The sensitivity of the device was found to be 3.99 KΩ (g/ml)−1 cm−2. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated and found to be 112 ag mL−1 and 340 ag mL−1 respectively. Further, this proposed sensor will be implemented in the fields for the rapid and proficient detection of the real samples.
