Pesticides production, consumption, and disposal around the world are raising concerns day by day for their human and environmental health impacts. Among developing treatment technologies, ozonation has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years. It is an emerging and promising technology for removing pesticides in the aqueous environment and degrading the residual pesticides from the fruits and vegetables (F&V) surfaces. This systematic review presents an extensive study of the degradation of different types of residual pesticides from F&V using ozonation, micro- and nanobubble (MNB) ozonation, or other advanced techniques such as microwaves/ultrasonication and advanced oxidation process. This review compiles the studies that reported the effect of MNB size on the dissolution of ozone gas in the washing medium and its effect on the degradation of residual pesticides from F&V. The mechanism and routes of pesticide degradation and how integrating MNB technology (MNBT) can help overcome economic losses, reduce health issues for consumers, and save the environment from harmful chemicals used in the pesticides are also discussed. The article encourages the development and utilization of MNBT not only in agriculture, but aquaculture, fisheries, food industries, food storage, and packing, for reducing/degrading the residual pesticides from foods and support environmental sustainability as well as improve international trade.
世界各地的农药生产、消费和处置因其对人类健康和环境的影响日益引发关注。在各种正在开发的处理技术中，臭氧处理近年来吸引了众多研究人员的关注。它是一种新兴且有前景的技术，可用于去除水环境中的农药，并降解水果和蔬菜（F&V）表面的残留农药。本系统综述对使用臭氧处理、微纳气泡（MNB）臭氧处理或其他先进技术（如微波/超声处理和高级氧化工艺）降解F&V中不同类型残留农药进行了广泛研究。本综述汇编了那些报道了MNB尺寸对臭氧气体在洗涤介质中溶解的影响及其对F&V中残留农药降解影响的研究。还讨论了农药降解的机制和途径，以及整合微纳气泡技术（MNBT）如何有助于克服经济损失、减少消费者的健康问题，并使环境免受农药中使用的有害化学物质的影响。本文鼓励不仅在农业中，而且在水产养殖、渔业、食品工业、食品储存和包装中开发和利用MNBT，以减少/降解食品中的残留农药，支持环境可持续性并促进国际贸易。
