Nanofarming: Promising Solutions for the Future of the Global Agricultural Industry

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(6), С. 1600 - 1600

Опубликована: Июнь 13, 2023

The agricultural sector is a vital source of human well-being that provides the necessities daily life. A variety farming systems are utilized in agriculture, such as wide range tillage options, no-till, agroforestry, precision farming, organic cover cropping, crop rotations, etc. Each these has unique challenges, and nanotechnology successfully improved on many them. Agricultural applications include nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanosensors, nanobiotechnology, nanoremediation. This study focuses application nano-farming technologies to different systems. Suggested practices nano improvement soil quality, nano-protection under biotic stress, nanoremediation polluted water environments, nanomanagement agro-wastes, nano-agrochemicals, nano-precision nanobiotechnology for modern farming. review also addresses expected problems may occur due over nanomaterials systems, nanopollution nanotoxicity agroecosystem compartments. Several dimensions emphasized this study, green energy, sustainable development, circular bioeconomy, land biodegradation, pollution, one health approach, essential global goals development. Nanofarming presents both benefits obstacles exact balance between challenges needs more study.

Plastic recycling: A panacea or environmental pollution problem

npj Materials Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 2(1)

Опубликована: Авг. 1, 2024

Abstract Increasing plastic waste is a critical global challenge to ecological and human health requiring focused solutions reduce omnipresent pollution in the environment. While recycling has been touted as one solution counter resource utilization, it largely ineffective offsetting impact of rising production more than 400 million metric tonnes annually, due low rates only 9%. Over three decades since implementing resin codes, favoured thermoplastics, neglecting thermoset plastics. There constant need enhance overall efficiency by exploring advanced methods, enormous gaps exist fully unlocking potential recycling. We identify associated with its environmental impacts. discuss substantial progress technology, designs-for-recyclability controlled chemical use, economic incentives expand markets for recycled plastics curb leakage into Additionally, we highlight some emerging strategies legally binding international policy instruments, such Global Plastics Treaty that require further development improve recyclability.

Microplastic pollution in groundwater: a systematic review

Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 36(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 4, 2024

Groundwater, a crucial freshwater source faces increasing pollution from microplastics (MPs). This study aims to comprehensively review the aquifers, sampling and analysis methods, levels, polymer types, sizes of MPs in groundwater worldwide between 2017 2023. Very few reports exist on abundance, type, size, other characteristics field. The tools, sample collection quantities used for field varied considerably among studies. However, efforts enhance our understanding MP results through level measurements, on-site water quality parameters, ion analysis, blanks have been limited. mostly indicated higher concentrations urban industrial areas landfill sites, whereas lower were observed with minimal human influence. are predominantly polypropylene polyethylene. Standardized methods needed further promote research facilitate cross-comparisons.
