| Abstract | ||||
| Pesticides are widely used to manage plant diseases and pests, but their contamination of soil and water raises serious health and environmental issues, including a link to diabetes and cancer. They fall into four main categories: organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and synthetic pyrethroids. Addressing pesticide pollution, particularly from wastewater, is essential for environmental sustainability. Effective removal techniques, such as biodegradation, electrochemical processes, and adsorption-capable of achieving 99.9% efficiency-are pivotal due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) emerging as superior sorbents for pesticide removal, outpacing traditional materials in adsorption capacity and stability. These structures, formed by metal ions and organic linkers, possess large surface areas and high porosity, making them versatile for applications in clean energy, gas storage, and various technological advancements. Recent developments in integrating carbonaceous compounds and nanoparticles have further improved MOFs’ functionality, enabling diverse synthesis methods that broaden their applicability in technology and environmental remediation efforts. | ||||
