“…3 Because PE is an AchE inhibitor, long-term exposure to it may lead to critical impacts on the sensory, visual, immune, and nervous systems; it also causes epileptic seizures, respiratory insufficiency, cholinergic toxicity, and coronary infarction, eventually leading to death. 4–6 Hence, the reliable and accurate detection of PE in the environment is of great importance. At present, some well-established methods and techniques are available to detect pesticide residues, such as liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GS), mass spectrometry (MS), calorimetric assays and liquid chromatography.…”

Recent development in functional nanomaterials for sustainable and smart agricultural chemical technologies

“…This aspect will be discussed in the third part. Analytical nanotechnologies such as those targeting pathogen and pesticide/herbicide residue detections constitute another major category of nanotechnologies for agricultural production, and have been reviewed previously [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], will not be covered in this work.…”

Synergy of the LaVO4/h-BN Nanocomposite: A Highly Active Electrocatalyst for the Rapid Analysis of Carbendazim

“…Plant diseases cause serious esthetic and economic damage that requires different management practices to moderate their occurrence to a tolerable level. The management of plant diseases relies primarily on the profuse use of chemical pesticides, among which fungicides play a vital role since fungal infestations represent a significant threat to crop production. , But benefits such as improved productivity, amelioration of vector-borne diseases, and cost-effectiveness have been limited as these chemicals can have serious implications on humans and other living forms. The excessive and unreasonable use of fungicides affects all areas of the natural environment and contributes primarily to problems with residues; contamination of food, soil, and water; and growth of resistance in pathogens .…”
