“…The lesser mass and widespread surface to volume ratio of nanoparticles reveal their significant properties with purposeful applicability in the field of sensors, medical, catalysis, optical devices, DNA labeling and drug delivery. Similarly, nanoparticles are focused for their key applications in medical research, re-assign food and agricultural wastes to energy and also other supportive by-products by enzymatic nano-bioprocessing [1], along with further applications in agriculture for the management of phytopathogens by diverse types of nanocides [2][3][4][5]. Among the metal nanoparticles, Zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) have shown to be having magnificent applicability in molecular diagnostics, detection and micro-electronics [5], and also in drug delivery and bioimaging probes [6].…”

Eucalyptus globules belonging to the Myrtaceae family was explored for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and for biological applications. The aqueous extract of the synthesized zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) was characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometer, FTIR, SEM and TEM. The aqueous broth was observed to be an efficient reducing agent, leading to the rapid formation of ZnNPs of varied shapes with sizes ranging between 52–70 nm. In addition, antifungal activity of the biosynthesized ZnNPs was evaluated against major phytopathogens of apple orchards. At 100 ppm of ZnNPs, the fungal growth inhibition rate was found to be 76.7% for Alternaria mali, followed by 65.4 and 55.2% inhibition rate for Botryosphaeria dothidea and Diplodia seriata, respectively. The microscopic observations of the treated fungal plates revealed that ZnNPs damages the topography of the fungal hyphal layers leading to a reduced contraction of hyphae. This considerable fungicidal property of ZnNPs against phytopathogenic fungi can have a tremendous impact on exploitation of ZnNPs for fungal pest management and ensure protection in fruit crops.

“…Further attention has been paid to these materials due to their low density and high mechanical properties, renewability, and biogas characteristics [28]. Extraction of nano-cellulose from agricultural wastes is a promising substitute for waste treatment, and greater use of nano-cellulose in biological sciences is expected in the future [29]. Nano-cellulose has become an important topic for many research areas because of its renewable availability of biocides and many good properties [30].…”

Wastes are produced at large amounts all over the world. These wastes cause a variety of problems to the ecosystem, plants, animals, and humans. In this chapter, we discuss the wastes, types of wastes, sources of wastes, and problems related to wastes, especially health-related problems. Then we discuss agricultural wastes and how we can synthesize different nanoparticles from them. Also, we discuss industrial wastes and different nanoparticles synthesized from them. Additionally, we discuss fruit wastes and production of different nanoparticles and also food wastes and their uses in nanoparticle syntheses. Also, we can use other wastes to produce nanoparticles. In applications section, we discuss the use of different nanoparticles produced in agriculture, removal of heavy metals and pollutants from environment, industry and finally medical applications. We will finish our chapter with the topic of healthy and safe synthesis of nanoparticles produced by different wastes and then conclusion.

“…NCAbs could be of biological origin or from natural materials and can be applied directly in their raw or treated form (Crini et al, 2019). Their application has been increased at an alarming rate in the past few years as they are abundant in nature, are economical ready to use (or can be modified) but their usage is still restricted to pilot scale and needs to be explored more in large field applications (Sangeetha et al, 2017).…”

Environmental Degradation: Causes and Remediation Strategies

Heavy metal pollution in the ecosystem has attracted worldwide attention due to the persistent non-biodegradable toxic nature that affects not only human beings but also animals and vegetation. Instead of using available conventional techniques, the focus has been shifted to utilize eco-friendly, cost-effective, integrated remediation approaches that are simple, non-conventional with design flexibility and does not harm the prevailing surroundings. The main approaches utilized for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils are sand capping or land filling, phytoremediation, bioremediation, washing, electro-chemical remediation, stabilization, soil replacement, phytoextraction, phytovoltalization, etc., but again they have their own merits and demerits. Many treatment technologies are employed at industrial scale for HM removal from wastewater effluents such as chemical precipitation, flocculation, coagulation, solvent extraction, adsorption, complexation, electro-kinetics, membrane filtration, etc. Therefore, the present chapter critically highlights the role of non-conventional adsorbents and bacterial surfactants as the best alternative technique for heavy metal remediation from contaminated soil and water systems.
