Application of nanoparticles in determination of pesticides: A review.

Abstract

Pesticides are mostly used to stop unwelcome pests from eating crops and livestock, which allowed them to enter the environment. Pesticide residues and their metabolites, which are present in the environment owing to overuse of pesticides, have a major negative impact on human health as well as the health of all other living things. The exposure to pesticides is linked to a number of serious illnesses (including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, birth abnormalities, and infertility) as well as other harm to human health. There are many methods in which pesticides, which are frequently used in agriculture, might be transmitted to animals. As a result, accurate analytical techniques are needed to identify pesticide residues in environment. In this review the methods for quantifying pesticides using various nanoparticles (NPs) in human bodies, water, plant and soil have been determined.

Keywords: Pesticides, nanoparticles (NPs), pollution, environment.
