Organic Photochemistry For Environmental And Agricultural Applications- A Review

Abstract

Organic photochemistry has emerged as a revolutionary strategy for addressing critical challenges in both environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture. This study presents a comprehensive overview of recent innovations in organic photochemical processes that degrade environmental pollutants and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Emphasizing the photodegradation of persistent pesticides, organic contaminants, and industrial pollutants, this approach harnesses light-driven chemical reactions to break down hazardous substances into less harmful compounds, mitigating environmental risks. Additionally, the potential of light-activated organic compounds in enhancing crop protection, increasing yield, and reducing the dependency on chemical pesticides is explored. The integration of organic photochemistry into eco-friendly agricultural inputs is also discussed, highlighting its role in minimizing chemical residues and improving soil health. Furthermore, this review examines the application of organic photochemistry in water purification and soil remediation, where light-induced reactions facilitate detoxification, contributing to cleaner, safer resources for agricultural use. By synthesizing the latest research, this study underscores the transformative impact of organic photochemistry in shaping next-generation solutions for pollution control, resource management, and sustainable crop production. Ultimately, it emphasizes the critical role of organic photochemistry in promoting environmental sustainability while fostering resilient agricultural systems for the future.
