Abstract

Pesticides play a significant key role in the agriculture sector. In India, there is a sharp increase in pesticides consumption in recent years, leading to severe implications. Due to the rapid use of pesticides, there is residue in the food, which leads to poor effects on human health. Furthermore, the discharge of various pesticides into water bodies from the industries and agricultural activities leads to environmental concerns. Because of their toxicity, persistent nature, and bioaccumulation potential, it is essential to remove pesticides from water. Nanoparticles are tiny particles whose size ranges from 1 to 100 nm. Nanomaterials have a large surface area, a large number of active sites, and high reactivity. Therefore, nanotechnology is a fast, efficient, and economical process. Nanotechnology plays an influential role in the removal of various pesticides from water and wastewater. In recent years, various nanomaterials, such as TiO2, ZVI, Zn, and rGO (reduced graphene oxide), CNTs (carbon nanotubes), and polymer-supported nanomaterials are widely used for the removal of pesticides from water. In this review, detailed information about various pesticides and their removal with the help of nanocomposites has been discussed.
