Cotton industry, potential effect

Pyrethi-nid Resistance. The cost effectiveness Of pyrethroids and their environmental compatibility, underscore the critical need to prolong their use. What is the potential effect of resistance to the pyrethroids on the cotton industry First, for many growers it would mean increasing reliance on more expensive, less effective products, resulting in lower quality yield for higher costs. 

The potential mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of PAHs are the basic reasons of concern for the levels of these compounds in the environment. The first cancers to be associated with PAH-containing substances were through skin contact that resulted in scrotal cancer of chimney sweeps and skin cancer among mule spinners in the cotton, wool, and jute industries. 

CeO nanoparticles were attached to the surface of the nanofiber substrate due to the strong interfacial and electrostatic interactions between the carboxylic or hydroxyl groups of the cellulose nanofiber and the CeO nanoparticles, which is effectively prevented nanoparticle fall-off. Compared to the natural cotton cellulose nanofibers, the modified natural cotton cellulose nanofibers by hydrothermal incorporation of CeOj nanoparticles showed excellent protection against UV radiation because of the function of the CeO particles. This functional nanofiber will have potential applications in various areas, such as the medical, military, biological, and optoelectronic industrial fields including UV protection for data storage or memory devices, in the future.
