Summary:

"'Pesticides in a Changing Environment: Impact, Assessment, and Remediation' covers compounds that repel, kill or to prevent any pest. On the basis of the target killed, pesticides are mainly classified as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. The increased demand of food on account of population explosion has compelled man to use pesticides for better crop production. However, there are many negative impacts of these chemical agrochemicals like toxicity to non-target organisms and retention in bio-systems in the form of their residues, leading to harmful effects on the food chain and food web. This book will be an important source of information for researchers and academicians working in the field of pesticide pollution, its physiology and biochemistry, and development of pesticide remediation technologies. Assists readers in developing new strategies to address the issues related to sensing and remediation activities Includes low cost materials for sensor and adsorbent development, allowing professionals to make decisions-based on economic considerations Provides alternatives for the development of socioeconomically sustainable products for sensing and remediation application."--Provided by publisher
