Excerpts: “Several scientific journals, newspapers and websites carried articles on this. I would like you to have a look at the website of our group. Please see the link below.
Excerpts: “Even though some of these pesticides have been banned, they are very much present in the environment. For instance, endosulfan has an environmental lifetime of 100 years. Efficient chemistry at low concentration is important so that even if one molecule of the pesticide passes by, it gets removed by the nanoparticle...”
