Dependence on chemical pesticides has become one of the most pressing challenges to global environmental sustainability and public health. Considerable regulatory efforts have been taken mitigate pesticide dependence, which however resulted in a prevalent ‘managerial failure’. Massive application generated severe genetic resistance from pests, turn further aggravated dependence thus induced agrochemical industries develop new varieties. This review proposes look beyond resistance-dependence nexus presents comprehensive discussion about social science perspective, i.e., revealing socio-economic political factors that reinforce dependence. These are classified into five intertwined themes: (1) agricultural regime, (2) process application, (3) economic analysis, (4) politics governance, (5) promotional failure alternatives. It is found not just technological issue sphere natural sciences, but more human-made issue, with deep-seated reasons. Addressing contemporary trap entails full acknowledgement comprehension complex factors. Furthermore, this identifies two major explanatory approaches underlying extant literature: structuralist approach stresses macro-level structures such as institutions, policies paradigms, an individualist focuses decision-making farmers at micro level. recognizes limitations calls for transcending duality. study advocates policy framework emphasizes alignment coordination multi-dimensions, multi-actors multi-scales. For future research, collaborations between scientists, integrated interdisciplinary should be strengthened.

Emerging Technologies for Degradation of Dichlorvos: A Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 18(11), С. 5789 - 5789

Опубликована: Май 28, 2021

Dichlorvos (O,O-dimethyl O-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)phosphate, DDVP) is a widely acknowledged broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide and acaracide. This pesticide has been used for more than four decades still in strong demand many developing countries. Extensive application of DDVP agriculture caused severe hazardous impacts on living systems. The International Agency Research Cancer the World Health Organization considered among list 2B carcinogens, which means certain extent cancer risk. Hence, removing from environment attracted worldwide attention. Many studies have tested removal using different kinds physicochemical methods including gas phase surface discharge plasma, physical adsorption, hydrodynamic cavitation, nanoparticles. Compared to methods, microbial degradation regarded as an environmentally friendly approach solve several environmental issues by pesticides. Till now, DDVP-degrading microbes isolated reported, but not limited Cunninghamella, Fusarium, Talaromyces, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Ochrobium, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Trichoderma. Moreover, possible pathways transformation metabolites fully explored. In addition, there are few enzymes corresponding genes microorganisms. However, further research relevant molecular biology genetics needed explore bioremediation DDVP. review summarizes latest development provides reasonable scientific advice contaminated environments.

Microbial Degradation of Aldrin and Dieldrin: Mechanisms and Biochemical Pathways

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Март 29, 2022

As members of the organochlorine group insecticides, aldrin and dieldrin are effective at protecting agriculture from insect pests. However, because excessive use a long half-life, they have contributed to major pollution water/soil environments. Aldrin been reported be highly toxic humans other non-target organisms, so their has gradually banned worldwide. Various methods tried remove them environment, including xenon lamps, combustion, ion conversion, microbial degradation. Microbial degradation is considered most promising treatment method its advantages economy, environmental protection, convenience. To date, few aldrin/dieldrin-degrading microorganisms isolated identified, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma viride, Pleurotus ostreatus, Mucor racemosus, Burkholderia sp., Cupriavidus Pseudonocardia community anaerobic microorganisms. Many aldrin/dieldrin resistance genes identified insects microorganisms, such as Rdl, bph, HCo-LGC-38, S2-RDLA302S , CSRDL1A, CSRDL2S, HaRdl-1, HaRdl-2. includes three pathways: oxidation pathway, reduction hydroxylation with metabolite. Degradation four oxidation, reduction, hydroxylation, hydrolysis, 9-hydroxydieldrin dihydroxydieldrin products. studies investigated toxicity aldrin/dieldrin. reviews focused on biochemical mechanisms In this review paper, summarized in order provide theoretical practical basis for bioremediation aldrin/dieldrin-polluted environment.

Remediation technologies for neonicotinoids in contaminated environments: Current state and future prospects

Environment International, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 178, С. 108044 - 108044

Опубликована: Июнь 16, 2023

Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are synthetic insecticides with broad-spectrum insecticidal activity and outstanding efficacy. However, their extensive use persistence in the environment have resulted accumulation biomagnification of NEOs, posing significant risks to non-target organisms humans. This review provides a summary research history, advancements, highlighted topics NEOs remediation technologies mechanisms. Various approaches been developed, including physiochemical, microbial, phytoremediation, microbial physicochemical being most extensively studied. Recent advances physiochemical led development innovative adsorbents, photocatalysts, optimized treatment processes. High-efficiency degrading strains well-characterized metabolic pathways successfully isolated cultured for remediation, while many plant species shown great potential phytoremediation. challenges gaps remain this field. Future should prioritize isolating, domesticating or engineering high efficiency, NEO degradation, as well developing synergistic techniques enhance removal efficiency on multiple varying concentrations different environmental media. Furthermore, shift from pipe-end pollution prevention strategies is needed, green economically efficient alternatives such biological insecticides. Integrated case-specific that can be applied practical projects need along clarifying degradation mechanisms improve efficiency. The successful implementation these will help reduce negative impact human health.
