摘要

Nano-bioremediation heralds a promising shift in addressing the widespread challenge of pesticide contamination in the environment. This chapter investigates the inventive combination of nanotechnology and bioremediation techniques to mitigate the harmful effects of pesticides. Utilizing the distinctive attributes of nanoparticles, including their high surface area-to-volume ratio and reactivity, alongside the catalytic capabilities of microbial enzymes, nano-bioremediation presents a remarkably efficient and precise method for breaking down pesticides into benign byproducts. Nanomaterials with the ability to contain and transport active pesticidal ingredients (AIs) in an adaptable way offer new opportunities to improve pest control efficacy and efficiency beyond conventional pesticide approaches. However, the uncertainties surrounding the adverse effects of certain nanopesticides remain poorly understood, necessitating further investigation. Nonetheless, our research suggests that nanopesticides exhibit potential for enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and resilience, with reduced adverse environmental effects compared to conventional counterparts. Utilizing the distinct characteristics of nanoparticles, including their elevated surface area-to-volume ratio and reactivity, in conjunction with the catalytic capabilities of microbial enzymes, nano-bioremediation presents a precise and highly effective method for breaking down pesticides into harmless byproducts. If utilized effectively, these advantages have the potential to enhance crop yields, thereby fostering sustainable agriculture and bolstering global food security. In conclusion, nano-bioremediation stands out as a promising and sustainable remedy for improving environmental safety through the mitigation of pesticide pollution.
