They can be defined as any synthetic or naturally occurring chemical or microorganism that is not usually monitored or regulated in the environment and have the potential to cause detrimental ecological and human health impacts. These compounds can be found in the environment in very low concentrations, at scales ranging from nanograms to micrograms per liter. Pesticides are an important group of emerging pollutants due to the continuous increase in their use in agricultural production process to control diseases, pests and weedsengPesticidasResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Bioengineeringconference poster
