This new volume is a thought-provoking and comprehensive overview of the emerging field of nanopesticides. The book takes a unique perspective that focuses on the impact of nanopesticides on human welfare as well as on the environment, including their potential benefits over conventional pesticides, such as increased effectiveness, reduced environmental impact, and improved safety. The potential risks associated with nanopesticides, including their toxicity to non-target organisms and the potential for nanoparticles to accumulate in the environment, are also covered.The book offers an environmental risk assessment of nanopesticides, exploring the use of nanopesticides on plants and for crop protection, and discussing the impact of nanopesticides in water resources and on soil microorganisms. The authors also examine using nanocarriers in phytoremediation methods. The configuration and preparation methods of nanopesticides is also addressed, and economical and market aspects of nanopesticides are covered as well.

Arsenic has been said to be one of the world’s most toxic elements, infiltrating the food chain and finding its way into foods. Studies have recently detected high levels of arsenic in rice, which is a major concern since rice is a staple food for a large part of the world’s population. This new volume addresses this problem, covering arsenic contamination in rice and offering effective mitigation strategies.

Biological processes and techniques for waste processing and management Biological Processes and Techniques in Zero Waste Management covers the many biological aspects that can be utilized for the treatment and management of waste generated from various industries to achieve zero waste. Diverse studies from around the world demonstrate the scalability of these approaches. Techniques for the treatment of industrial, plastic, electronic, and nuclear waste are discussed in dedicated chapters. The book also includes advanced tools and technologies in biotechnology and bioengineering for the treatment of waste, along with a discussion on guidelines, regulations, policies, and laws for zero waste treatment and management. In Biological Processes and Techniques in Zero Waste Management, readers will find information on: Ways that traditional disposal practices such as landfilling, open dumping, and incineration contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion, and ecological degradationStrategies to minimize waste generation as well as recover, recycle, and repurpose materials in ways that create environmental, economic, and social valueNew approaches to product design, consumption patterns, supply chains, and waste management infrastructuresHow bioconversion, thermochemical processing, chemical recycling, and advanced separation technologies can convert waste into biofuels, bioplastics, fertilizers, renewable energy, and high-value chemicalsMicrobial valorization of organic waste and bio-based industrial raw materialsBiological Processes and Techniques in Zero Waste Management is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, educators, and community leaders seeking to advance scientific understanding, design policy interventions, and implement practical waste-to-resource projects.
