Abstract

Pesticides are essential for improving agriculture, which is necessary for our life. Nowadays, with population growth, these chemistry products are more explored and improved to improve food production and keep people alive. However, the excessive use of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides can degrade the environment and cause health issues. For this reason, researchers look for ways to detect and remove pesticide residues from the environment. Moreover, they provide limits on the use of agrochemical products. Modern searches about polymers and their use in science show that they can be used for pesticide detection or remotion, which is more efficient than the latest. This paper shows the main issues covered in the articles on using polymers to detect agrochemical products from the environment. These analyses were made on the platforms Scopus and Web of Science. The results concluded that the principal search focus was on detecting high-hazard pesticides using polymers.
