In the present scenario, the uncontrolled and irrational use of pesticides is affecting the environment, agriculture and livelihood worldwide. The excessive application of pesticides for better production of crops and to maintain sufficient food production is leading to cause many serious environmental issues such as soil pollution, water pollution and also affecting the food chain. The efficient management of pesticide use and remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil is one of the most significant challenges to overcome. The efficiency of the current methods of biodegradation of pesticides using different microbes and enzymes depends on the various physical and chemical conditions of the soil and they have certain limitations. Hence, a novel strategy is the need of the hour to safeguard the ecosystem from the serious environmental hazard. In recent years, the application of nanomaterials has drawn attention in many areas due to their unique properties of small size and increased surface area. Nanotechnology is considered to be a promising and effective technology in various bioremediation processes and provides many significant benefits for improving the environmental technologies using nanomaterials with efficient performance. The present article focuses on and discusses the role, application and importance of nano-bioremediation of pesticides and toxic pollutants to explore the potential of nanomaterials in the bioremediation of hazardous compounds from the environment.
在当前情况下，农药的无节制和不合理使用正在影响全球的环境、农业和生计。为了更好地种植作物和维持充足的粮食产量而过度施用农药，正导致许多严重的环境问题，如土壤污染、水污染，还影响了食物链。有效管理农药使用和修复受农药污染的土壤是需要克服的最重要挑战之一。目前利用不同微生物和酶对农药进行生物降解的方法效率取决于土壤的各种物理和化学条件，并且存在一定局限性。因此，当下需要一种新策略来保护生态系统免受严重的环境危害。近年来，纳米材料因其尺寸小和表面积增大的独特性质在许多领域受到关注。纳米技术在各种生物修复过程中被认为是一种有前景且有效的技术，并且为使用具有高效性能的纳米材料改进环境技术提供了许多显著益处。本文重点讨论了纳米生物修复农药和有毒污染物的作用、应用及重要性，以探索纳米材料在从环境中生物修复有害化合物方面的潜力。
