Global Scenario of Remediation Techniques to Combat Pesticide Pollution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation and Biotechnology, Vol 2

Abstract

The introduction of chemical substances in agriculture through fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, phytohormones is closely linked to both the increase of agricultural production and the problems of the environment. These attacks against the intensification of agriculture by means mainly refer to the following: chemical pesticides lead to the depletion of the natural fertility of the soil and, ultimately, to an imbalance in the natural composition of the soil; chemical pesticides, especially those with N and P, lead to the release of nitrogen and phosphorus into the environment with adverse consequences on surface water eutrophication and biological balance; chemical pesticides produce changes in the quality of the crops, respectively of the elements, by accumulations of nitrates, carbohydrates, lipids, change of the C/N, N/P, Ca/Mg ratio; the residual effect of some chemicals in the food, together with other factors, contributes to the promotion of modern diseases; intensive agriculture, modifying biocenoses create an ecological imbalance.
