As agricultural methods become more intensive and as industrial operations expand, the number of pesticides entering bodies of water increases, demanding effective removal strategies and forward-thinking approaches. This new volume addresses this important challenge by investigating sophisticated removal technologies and developing pesticide management trends. Chapters cover common pesticides detected in wastewater from agricultural and nonagricultural sources, readily available nanoparticles and nanomaterials that successfully remove hazardous compounds from wastewater, the use of new electrochemical technologies and perovskite oxide semiconductors to remove pesticides, the varieties of biopesticides and their advantages over synthetic pesticides, the construction of water treatment facilities, applications of entomopathogenic organisms in viticulture, and more.
