“…Chlorfenapyr is a novel broad-spectrum insecticide-miticide for the control of various insects and mite pests on cotton, ornamentals, and several vegetable and fruit crops [30,31]. The halflife of chlorfenapyr was found to be 11 -13.5 months in surface-level soil and 20 -29 months in deeper soil [32]. In Jordan, Kailani et al [28] reported that chlorfenapyr was detected in soil samples of Karak, Tafila, and Ghor Al-Safi districts at concentrations of 2.09, 1.77, and 12.96 mg/kg respectively.…”

Soil contamination by pesticide residues is a major concern due to their high soil persistence and dangerous effect on humans. Therefore, the aim of this study was to detect and determine the concentration of pesticide residues in agricultural soil samples. Agricultural soil samples were collected from three Egyptian governorates and were extracted using the QuEChERS method and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of twenty different pesticide residues (approximately 43% of the tested pesticides) were detected in agricultural soil samples obtained from the three governorates. South Sinai was heavily contaminated by pesticides, with a total concentration of 0.505 mg/kg, followed by Ismailia (0.207 mg/kg) and North Sinai (0.075 mg/kg). According to its use in agriculture, the percentage of pesticide residues detected revealed that 60% of the pesticides were fungicides and 35% were insecticides. In Ismailia governorate, carbendazim was detected in 40% of agricultural soil samples. In North Sinai governorate, boscalid and chlorpyrifos were detected in 66.66% of the soil samples. In South Sinai governorate, thiophanate-methyl, metalaxyl, and carbendazim were detected in 50% of the soil samples. This study revealed the presence of different pesticide residues in Egyptian agricultural soil samples, which can affect agricultural products grown on contaminated agricultural soil. The accumulation of mixtures of pesticide residues in soil constitutes mostly toxic chemicals that are a worldwide environmental issue that must be considered in the agricultural production sustainability assessment. These results could be used as a base for designing environmental maps to cover the pesticide residue contamination that affects agricultural crops in Egypt.

“…Fullerene NPs have been reported to enhance the uptake of trichloroethylene using Populus deltoides, 2 and 15 mg/L of fullerene NPs have enhanced the uptake by 26% and 82%. Plantago major with the appropriate adsorbent (activated charcoal) and solubilizing agent, SiO2 as green synthesized NPs of Fe and Ag namely Ficus-FeNPs (F-Fe0) (size 2.46 nm-11.49 nm), Ipomoea-Ag (Ip-Ag0 ) (size 6.27 to 21.23 nm) and Brassica-AgNPs (Br-Ag0 ) (size 6.05 to 15.02 nm) were able to remove 93.7%, 91.30%, and 92.92%, respectively of chlorfenapyr (Romeh and Saber, 2020). Studies have also reported that pollutants like chlorpyrifos, molinate and, atrazine could be removed and broken by nanosized zerovalent iron.…”

Nanotechnological approaches are emerging as one of the most contemporary restoration strategies that may be used to remove a variety of contaminants from the environment, including heavy metals, organic and inorganic pollutants. The application of nanoparticles (NPs) is entrenched with biological processes to boost up the removal of toxic compounds from contaminated soils. Many efforts have been taken to increase the effectiveness of phytoremediation such as the addition of chemical additives, application of rhizobacteria, and genetic engineering, etc. In this context, the integration of nanotechnology with bioremediation has introduced new dimensions to the reclamation methods. Thus, advanced remediation methods that combine nanotechnology with phytoremediation and bioremediation, where nanoscale process regulation aids in the absorption and breakdown of pollutants. NPs absorb/adsorb a variety of contaminants and also catalyze reactions by lowering the energy required for their breakdown due to unique surface properties. As a result, these nanobioremediation procedures decrease the accumulation of contaminants while simultaneously limiting their dispersal from one medium to another. Therefore, the present review is dealing with all the possibilities of the application of NPs for restoration of contaminated soils.

“…Although, the engineered NPs could be used in remediation the polluted soil, water and air environments, the excess amounts of these NPs might cause serious hazards for the ecosystem and should be removed by proper remediation tools. This means NPs is double-edged sword ( Srivastav et al, 2018 , Zhang et al, 2019 , Romeh and Saber, 2020 , Gong et al, 2021 , Ganie et al, 2021 ). Common case studies are published about removing many heavy metals using NPs from contaminated media (i.e., water, soil and sediments) such as arsenic ( Alka et al, 2021 , Maity et al, 2021 ), cadmium ( Gong et al, 2021 ), chromium ( Azeez et al, 2021 ), copper ( Yin et al, 2020 ), lead ( Lian et al, 2021 ), mercury ( Kumari et al, 2020 ), and zinc ( Fajardo et al, 2020 ).…”

Human health and its improvement are the main target of several studies related to medical, agricultural and industrial sciences. The human health is the primary conclusion of many studies. The improving of human health may include supplying the people with enough and safe nutrients against malnutrition to fight against multiple diseases like COVID-19. Biofortification is a process by which the edible plants can be enriched with essential nutrients for human health against malnutrition. After the great success of biofortification approach in the human struggle against malnutrition, a new biotechnological tool in enriching the crops with essential nutrients in the form of nanoparticles to supplement human diet with balanced diet is called nano-biofortification. Nano biofortification can be achieved by applying the nano particles of essential nutrients (e.g., Cu, Fe, Se and Zn) foliar or their nano-fertilizers in soils or waters. Not all essential nutrients for human nutrition can be biofortified in the nano-form using all edible plants but there are several obstacles prevent this approach. These stumbling blocks are increased due to COVID-19 and its problems including the global trade, global breakdown between countries, and global crisis of food production. The main target of this review was to evaluate the nano-biofortification process and its using against malnutrition as a new approach in the era of COVID-19. This review also opens many questions, which are needed to be answered like is nano-biofortification a promising solution against malnutrition? Is COVID-19 will increase the global crisis of malnutrition? What is the best method of applied nano-nutrients to achieve nano-biofortification? What are the challenges of nano-biofortification during and post of the COVID-19?
