Persistence of pesticides-based contaminants in the environment and their effective degradation using laccase-assisted biocatalytic systems

Inevitable use of pesticides due to modern agricultural practices and the associated worldwide environmental pollution has called the special attention of the researchers to overcome the persistence, recalcitrance, and multi-faceted toxicity of pesticides-based emerging contaminants. Some restricted...
