  • 摘要: 纳米农药作为农业科技前沿的重要载体,在提升农药利用率的同时,其环境归趋与健康风险亦引发全球关注。本文系统综述了纳米农药的分类体系、环境迁移行为、多维度生态毒性及人体健康风险机制,并探讨了风险管控策略。研究表明,纳米农药可通过大气传输、食物链富集及职业暴露等途径广泛侵入生态系统与人体,对土壤微生物群落、水生生物及非靶标生物产生显著不利效应;同时通过发育毒性、神经毒性、遗传毒性及生殖毒性等多途径威胁人体健康。针对上述风险,本文进一步提出了从源头设计、环境修复到政策监管的全链条风险缓解策略。最后,文章展望了未来重点研究方向,旨在为协调纳米农药的增效潜力与环境健康安全保障提供科学依据。

     

    Abstract:  As pivotal vectors in agricultural innovation, nanopesticides significantly enhance pesticide utilization efficiency while simultaneously raising global concern over their environmental persistence and multifaceted health hazards. This comprehensive review systematically examines nanopesticide classification systems, which encompass metal-based nanoparticles (including prevalent AgNPs, CuNPs, and TiO₂NPs), non-metallic nanoparticles, and advanced nanoformulations such as emulsions, suspensions, and dispersions designed to improve solubility and target specificity. Critical analysis extends to their environmental transport behaviors—particularly atmospheric transmission enabling transcontinental dispersion, food chain amplification mechanisms, and occupational exposure pathways—alongside multidimensional ecotoxicological impacts and human health risk mechanisms. Empirical evidence confirms that nanopesticides extensively infiltrate ecosystems and humans, inducing substantial harm to soil microbiomes through suppression of beneficial microbial activity, impairing aquatic organisms via neurotoxicity in model species like zebrafish, disrupting atmospheric insect communities exemplified by immune damage in bees, and affecting non-target species. Significantly, widely used metal nanoparticles threaten human health through distinct pathological pathways: AgNPs provoke neurotoxicity by disrupting neuronal networks and genotoxicity causing DNA strand breaks; CuNPs trigger reproductive toxicity that compromises sperm viability and motility; TiO₂NPs induce developmental toxicity leading to fetal growth restriction and placental dysfunction. To address these interconnected risks, integrated mitigation strategies are proposed across three critical tiers: 1) Optimizing source design through enzyme-responsive carriers and biodegradable frameworks, 2) Advancing environmental remediation via microbial degradation using tailored bacterial strains and photocatalytic treatment with engineered nanomaterials, and 3) Implementing evidence-based policy regulation inspired by Switzerland’s successful tax-subsidy-label model that reduced water pollution incidents by 52%. Future research priorities must unravel compounded pollution synergies, establish long-term human biomonitoring frameworks, quantify field-scale environmental fate, and develop counteractants against bioaccumulation. This work establishes a scientific foundation for harmonizing nanopesticidal efficacy with environmental and health security.
