“…There are several fungicides that are used as demethylase inhibitors such as pyridines, morpholines and piperazines [ 141 ]. Furthermore, several fungicides that target many sites of the fungi that include inhibition antioxidant enzymes that lead to interrupt cell redox balance and several of them also prevent the nuclear factor-kB signaling cascade consequently distress the numerous biochemical actions [ 142 ]. Mechanisms of different pesticides has been depicted in Fig.…”

“…As the pesticide use has increased over the past few decades, the likelihood of exposure to these chemicals has also increased considerably. According to World Health Organization, each year, about 3,000,000 cases of pesticide poisoning and 220, 000 deaths are reported in developing countries Lah [51]. About 2.2 million people, mainly belonging to developing countries are at increased risk of exposure to pesticides Hicks [52].…”

This report explicitly reviews pesticides, their types, usefulness and the environmental concerns related to them. The majority of pesticide formulations are diluted in water and applied under pressure through hydraulic nozzles, while some specialized formulations are used with a petrochemical diluent, undiluted as ultra-low volume sprays, or dry as granule or dust treatments. Pollution as a result of overuse pesticides and the long-term impact of pesticides on the environment is equally germane. Farmers are routinely exposed to high levels of pesticides, usually much greater than those of consumers. Farmers' exposure mainly occurs during the preparations and application of the pesticide spray solutions and during the cleaning-up of spraying equipment. Farmers who mix, load, and spray pesticides can be exposed to these chemicals due to spills and splashes, direct spray contact as a result of faulty or missing protective equipment, or even drift. Pesticides are used to kill the pests and insects which attack crops and harm them. Different kinds of pesticides have been used for crop protection for centuries. Pesticides benefit the crops however, they also impose a serious negative impact on the environment. Consequently, excessive use of pesticides may lead to the destruction of biodiversity. Many birds, aquatic organisms and animals are under the threat of harmful pesticides for their survival. Therefore, pesticides are a concern for sustainability of environment and global stability; thus, biorational and microbiological tactics are implicated as the last resort.

“…organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy and chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder. 48 The rapid twitch of voluntary muscles, mutagenic effects, encephalopathy, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases, visual disturbance and effects even affecting the respiratory system and the female and male reproductive cycle [48][49][50] represent risks of these substances to organism. On the other hand, it also presents ecological risks, with varying degree of toxicity in plants and animals.…”

The detection of traces of substances by surface‐sensitive techniques such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) explores the interaction of adsorbed molecules on plasmonic surfaces to improve the limit of detection of analytes. This article is an overview about recent development in SERS substrates applied in the detection of organophosphorus pesticides on plasmonic surfaces (arrays of metal nanoparticles). The morphology, roughness, chemical functionalization degree, and aggregation level of plasmonic centers are some of the critical parameters to be controlled in the optimization of SERS signal from specific analytes.
