Modified zeolite-supported biofilm in service of pesticide biodegradation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of biofilms on modified natural zeolites was investigated with purpose to obtain biocomposites with biodegradation activity towards pesticides MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) and glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) for potential application in bioaugmentation of polluted agricultural soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradation kinetics of diuron by Pseudomonas aeruginosa FN and optimization of biodegradation using response surface methodology

TL;DR: The influence of temperature, initial optical density of Pseudomonas aeruginosa FN and initial diuron concentration were examined to further optimize biodegradation of diuron and showed good correlation between Monod model and experimental results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indigenous functional microbial degradation of the chiral fungicide mandipropamid in repeatedly treated soils: Preferential changes in the R-enantiomer.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the indigenous functional microbial communities associated with the degradation of chiral fungicide mandipropamid enantiomers in soils repeatedly treated with a single enantiomer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paper-Based Enzymatic Colorimetric Assay for Rapid Malathion Detection.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved approach to attach a malathion degrading enzyme, PoOPHM9, on paper via an interlocking network of Pluronic F127 (PF127)poly(acrylic acid)and enzyme conjugates was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous biodegradation of λ-cyhalothrin pesticide and Vicia faba growth promotion under greenhouse conditions

TL;DR: In this article , the degradation pathway for complete detoxification and metabolism of λ-cyhalothrin was established and the results indicated that the application of seed coat significantly enhanced Vicia faba seedling growth and caused an increase from 38.4 to 40.2% percentage of fresh and dry weight, respectively compared to untreated control.

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.
