“…These are classified according to the type of pests they control as insecticides, fungicides, acaricides, nematicides, rodenticides, molluscicides, ovicides, and herbicides, the latter being one of the largest environmental pollutants worldwide, because they are used in most crops for weed control . After said application, a small part of these herbicides can protect agricultural products, while a high percentage of these are dispersed in the environment through hydrolysis, volatilization, or microbial action, causing a harmful effect because of their good solubility and mobility in aqueous media, their relatively low biodegradability, and their low persistence in soil. − These substances have been considered by many researchers to be highly toxic to humans and marine organisms, causing severe cardiovascular problems, nervous system disorders, hormonal disorders, muscle degeneration, cancer, and genotoxicity. − Therefore, it is of vital importance to remove these emerging pollutants from the environmental system, as it is very harmful to ecosystems.…”
