| Description |
Rapid development of industry and agriculture has led to the continuous inflow of ever increasing
amounts of different synthetic organic chemicals, especially the xenobiotics, many of which have
carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic properties. To create a safe, pollution free environment for
mankind, removal of these toxic contaminants is very essential. A through knowledge of the general trends
of degradation of different classes of pesticidcs is required to achieve this and so these have been described,
Degradation studies include the effect of various substituents on the biodegradability of pesticides and the
role of processes like co-metabolism conjugate formulation, bio-accumulation etc. As a supplement to these,
the use of abiotic techniques such as chemical oxidation, adsorption, photo-decomposition, etc in the
removal of pesticides from soil and water has been suggested. Among the biotic techniques for
decontamination of pesticides from soil and water. inoculation of soil with natural bacterial isolates or I genetically constructed bacterial strains arc the recent trends. For the decontamination of pesticides from
" food commodities, use of some wash solutions has been suggested, These include methods like hot water I
blanching, rinsing with weak acid and bases, washing with detergents and the use of biosurfactant.
