Environmental Occurrence, Toxicity Concerns, and Degradation of Diazinon Using a Microbial System.

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation pathways of diazinon and the fate of several metabolites were investigated, and a variety of enzymes, such as hydrolase, acid phosphatase, laccase, cytochrome P450, and flavin monooxygenase were also discovered to play a crucial role in the biodegradation process.

An overview on biodegradation of carbamate pesticides by soil bacteria

TL;DR: The present development in biodegradation of carbamate pesticides, their toxicity and enzymatic degradation as well as their degradative pathways are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pesticides degradation by immobilised microorganisms

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to compile the most important aspects of CI as a strategy for the degradation of pesticides, including increases in the percentage of degradation, greater stability, protection, and tolerance to pesticides when a CI strategy is implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual-Functionalized Pesticide Nanocapsule Delivery System with Improved Spreading Behavior and Enhanced Bioactivity.

TL;DR: The results showed that the dual-functionalized pesticide nanocapsules were monodisperse spheres with a mean particle size of ~260 nm and had good storage stability, and exhibited good foliar spread owing to their small size, which is beneficial for reducing the loss of pesticides on the leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping Microbial Capacities for Bioremediation: Genes to Genomics.

TL;DR: This work has shown that genomics tools are now playing important role in bioprocess optimization, which not only derive the bio-stimulation plans but also could suggest possible genetic bio-augmentation options.

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.

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.
