Understanding the Fate of Nanoplastics and Nanopesticides in Riverine and Agricultural Environments
AI summary Read the abstract
This thesis investigated how nanoplastics and nanopesticides behave and interact in river and agricultural environments under varying geochemical conditions. The research helps predict how these nano-scale pollutants move through ecosystems and whether their combined presence poses greater risks than either alone.
Nanoplastics are produced in the environment through the degradation of micro and macro sized plastics in the environment or originated as effluent from textile and paint industries. On the other hand, nanopesticides are emergent nano-agri products being utilised for agriculture for the better efficacy of active ingredients. In the current study, the assessment of bio-exposure is accomplished by understanding their stability in the riverine and agricultural environment under varying geochemical parameters.

AI summary Read the abstract
This dissertation examines how micro- and nanoplastics interact with heavy metals in natural environments, developing material models to understand their sorption properties. Since plastics can act as carriers for toxic metals — concentrating and transporting them through ecosystems — the research has important implications for understanding combined pollution risks.

AI summary Read the abstract
This thesis examines how microplastics are eroded, transported, and deposited in river systems, tracing their movement from land sources to the ocean. The research fills an important gap in understanding how rivers act as conduits for microplastic pollution and what processes determine where plastic particles accumulate in freshwater environments.
