Potential of preventive bioremediation to reduce environmental contamination by pesticides in an agricultural context: A case study with the herbicide 2,4-D.

TL;DR: In this paper, a preventive bioremediation process based on the simultaneous application of the pesticide with pesticide-degrading microorganisms to reduce the risk of leaching into the environment is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance and kinetic of pesticide residues removal by microporous starch immobilized laccase in a combined adsorption and biotransformation process

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of combining adsorption and degradation for the removal of pesticide residue was investigated based on the biodegradable microporous starch immobilized laccase (LA-MPS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaugmentation of treatment wetlands - A review.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of bio-augmentation on different types of treatment wetlands, to a large extent performed on a microcosm, are synthesized and evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics study of nicosulfuron degradation by a Pseudomonas nitroreducens strain NSA02

TL;DR: Results highlight the potential of the isolated bacterium to be used in the bioremediation of nicosulfuron-contaminated soils and suggest Haldane and Teissier–Edwards models provide better representation when compared to Aiba–Ed Edwards model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the microbial degradation and resistance mechanisms of glyphosate.

TL;DR: In this article , a review explores the microorganisms, enzymes and functional genes related to the microbial degradation of glyphosate and discusses the pathways of microbial degradation and the resistance mechanisms of microorganisms to glyphosate.

Pesticide Exposure, Safety Issues, and Risk Assessment Indicators

TL;DR: New tools or techniques with greater reliability than those already existing are needed to predict the potential hazards of pesticides and thus contribute to reduction of the adverse effects on human health and the environment.
Book ChapterDOI

The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database for environmental decision-making.

TL;DR: This work has compiled the most complete collection of these properties available, using others' compilations but verifying values from the primary literature in many cases, and suggests a "Selected Value" which it believes to be the best available.

Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data: For Organic Chemicals, Volume III Pesticides

TL;DR: The Environmental Fate and Exposure of Organic Chemicals provides relevant facts on how individual chemicals behave in the environment and how humans and environmental organisms are exposed to the chemicals during their production, rise, transport, and disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective

TL;DR: This review selectively examines and provides a critical view on the knowledge gaps and limitations in field application strategies, approaches such as composting, electrobioremediation and microbe-assisted phytoremediating, and the use of probes and assays for monitoring and testing the efficacy of bioremediations of polluted sites.
