“…The ways by which pesticides come in contact with or enter the body of the target, are called as 'modes of entry'. Classification on perspective of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology: Classification on pest organism they kill and pesticide function (use): Classification on the basis of pesticide formulations (Kankam, 2021):…”

“…Failure by applicators in following safety protocols associated with pesticide application, handling, storage and disposal leads to contamination and poisoning of water sources, nearby food and feed materials, beneficial animals, applicators themselves and other farm workers. Therefore, pesticides have posed acute and chronic dangers to health of man and animals, water quality, soil health, aquatic lives and other beneficial organisms (Kankam, 2021). Drum (1980) proposed that pesticides can be classified into three broad categories on the basis of chemical structure, mode of entry and action of pesticide and the organisms they kill (Yadav and Devi, 2017).…”

Chemical pesticides are considered as the most effective and reliable agents to control and to kill the pests from agriculture, residential as well as from the public places. Pests such as algae, bacteria in plants/soil, birds, fungi, insects, mammals (mice, rats and moles), mites and ticks, nematodes, slugs, snails and weeds are effectively controlled by the use of pesticides. Also, they are beneficial to decrease the burden of deadly diseases (malaria) spread or caused by the vectors. Though the pesticides are beneficial for enhance production and yield of agriculture sector, increased food productivity and public health, they have adversely impacted the environment and human health. This review focuses on pesticides with respect to definition and toxicological classification using various criteria. This study recommends practice of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), strict use of pesticides that are labelled for the intended crop and pest, consideration of application site characteristics and location of wells, ponds and other water bodies, measuring accurately the quantity and specified dilutions, maintaining application equipment and calibrating accurately, mixing and loading carefully, preventing back siphoning and spills, considering the impact of weather and irrigation, safe and secure storage and disposal, leaving buffer zones around sensitive areas and to reducing off-target drift.

“…Different types of pesticides are in practice to control various types of pests like insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, bactericide, and rodenticide. Formulation of pesticides involves the complex mixtures of the active ingredient and a wide variety of other substances that are added to increase the efficacy of the product (Hassaan & El Nemr, 2020;KANKAM, 2021).…”

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Detection of Chlorpyrifos (an Organophosphate Pesticide)

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Chlorpyrifos belongs to an organophosphate pesticides group that is frequently used to increase the yield of crops by controlling plant and pests-related diseases. Chlorpyrifos contaminates the environment and cause diseases to the human population. Molecularly imprinting technology lead to the development of molecularly imprinted polymers having templated oriented cavities with high selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and portability. Our review article aims to provide a collective study related to pesticides detection through molecularly imprinted polymers with existed constraints and necessary potential facets are discussed.

“…In recent years, the use of pesticides in agricultural production has increased crop yields, but overuse has also brought many environmental problems, such as soil contamination and other agricultural non-point source contamination problems [1]. Pesticides undergo a series of migration and transformation processes in the environment and generate new metabolites.…”

In this study, the preparation of apricot kernel shell biochar by a hydrothermal method and its adsorption mechanism for atrazine was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared spectrum (FTIR) analytical techniques. The results show that the biochar prepared from the apricot kernel shell has an evenly distributed, nonaggregated carbon microsphere structure and contains a large number of oxygen-containing groups. The higher the preparation temperature is, the more functional groups exist and the better the potential adsorption performance is. The adsorption kinetics of atrazine on apricot kernel shell biochar were fitted with a quasi-second-order kinetic equation (R2 ≥ 0.995, p < 0.05). The isothermal adsorption data were in accordance with the Freundlich model (R2 ≥ 0.911, p < 0.05). The adsorption of atrazine on apricot kernel shell biochar includes two processes: surface adsorption and diffusion. The adsorption capacity of apricot kernel shell biochar for atrazine increases with increasing preparation temperature and decreases with increasing pH and Ca2+ concentration. The adsorption mechanism includes hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Therefore, biochar prepared from apricot shells, an agricultural waste, exhibits good adsorption performance for atrazine and has a good application prospect in addressing agricultural non-point source pollution, especially in pesticide residue pollution control.
