Description

Agrochemical contamination is a severe problem that damages the ecosystem and reduces the quality of life of the people exposed; to remedy this problem, nanotechnology is an attractive bioremediation alternative for these types of chemicals. This study emphasizes bioremediation actions such as investing in alternatives, for example, the method of photocatalysis using Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO), and alternatives that aid in the degradation of most chemicals such as sonolyisis or ozonolysis to improve their effectiveness are of great interest. In this paper, the uses of nano remediation to reduce the effects of chemicals in agricultural soil were reviewed and its use is highly recommended.
