Survey of Residual Pesticides in Various Fresh Fruit Crops: A Case Study

Green and Environmentally Friendly Techniques for Enhanced Physicochemical Characteristics Attributed to Polysaccharides for Industrial Applications

“…Relative to O-H absorbance, the intensity of the C-H stretching bands enhanced with increasing acid chain length in FTIR spectra. These results obtained are in good agreement with the values given in literature for cellulose and starch esters via fatty acids [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Similar results were obtained for other products (GG-A to GG-J) irrespective of carbon chain length as shown in Table 2.…”

Managing Paper and Pulp Industry By-Product Waste Utilizing Sludge as a Bio-Fertilizer

“…Ribeiro [10] reported that the paper mill sludge produced in Cova da Beira region (Portugal) contained OM, N, and P at the rate of 11-47%, 38-2,560 mg/kg, and 167-370 mg/kg, respectively, which showed a significant increase in soil productivity. The permissible limit for heavy metals in the sludge appropriate for land application is given in Table 2 [ [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Heavy metals in the soil were below the limits of N and P concentrations in soil and did not present any risk of nutrients leaching in the soil.…”

Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic performance of iron molybdate (Fe2(MoO4)3) for the degradation of endosulfan pesticide

“…Complex structure makes the pesticides persistent organic pollutants, which are responsible for diverse genotoxic and cytotoxic effects to living organisms. Endosulfan (C 9 H 6 Cl 6 O 3 S) is an organochlorine pesticide, which is a highly stable and has been detected in the environment at elevated concentration [1][2][3][4]. Endosulfan is responsible for various ill effects i.e., endocrine disruptor human primary hepatocytes, convulsions, restlessness, induce seizures, cause cancer, affect central nervous system, reproductive system disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, physiological disorders and muscular hyper twitching.…”
