Executive Summary : | The significance of agricultural pesticides for developing nation is overwhelming. However, the issues concern with human health and environmental hazards has arisen as the main problem due to its over-usage. Pesticides can diffuse off-site to foul surface water and then enter into groundwater. The delivered pesticides into the climate and their effects on numerous species have been known for quite a while. This could be connected to the uses of recently combined pesticides that are available in each sort of environment in the world. Thus, the analytical technique demanded for the trace level detection. Electroanalytical methods have recently gained prominence in the detection and determination of electroactive molecules because they are simple, cost-effective, sensitive, easy to use, and require a small amount of analyte. The development of simple, sensitive, explicit, and effective sensors is critical to avoid the use of these synthetic pesticides through accurate determinations of their trace levels in food, water, and soil samples. Contamination of food and water sources with pesticides and herbicides is hazardous to both human and the environment. Moreover, electrochemical sensors could show a great promise in monitoring a wide range of environmental pollutants such as pesticides, toxic metals, inorganics, etc., in soil and water sources. Thus, the proposed project would be helpful to monitor the contamination as well as in maintaining environmental sustainability. On other hand, novelty of the proposed project is the synthesis of the nanomaterials from the biowaste/biomass precursor that also contributes towards environmental maintenance. This method would be beneficial in the large-scale up technology, which also contributes towards the revenue. The nanomaterial-based modified sensor offers real potential for sensitive and selective detection of trace-level pollutants. As the proposed method is of low-cost pesticide monitoring technique, this method could be turned to moderately budgeted equipment that has the potential of effectively working in environmental monitoring and health care. |
