    Agricultural Applications of Novel Mushroom-Based Nanopesticide
    (WILEY Online Library, 2025-03) Isibor, Patrick Omoregie; Oyewole, Oluwafemi Adebayo; Buba, Adamu Binta; Alhassan, Alhassan Muhammad; Adetunji, Charles Oluwaseun
    Nanobiopesticides derived from mushrooms offer a novel approach to tackling agricultural pests and diseases. These nanoparticles utilize bioactive compounds found in mushrooms to provide targeted pest and pathogen control. Their unique properties enhance penetration, allowing precise delivery to pests and pathogens while minimizing non-target effects. This technology reduces environmental impact and toxicity concerns associated with conventional pesticides. Synthesis methods involve green techniques, aligning with sustainable practices. Challenges include variability in effectiveness and regulatory considerations. Nevertheless, the potential benefits are vast, from effective pest management and disease suppression to improved crop yields and ecosystem health. Nanobiopesticides showcase the synergy of nature and technology, aimed at reshaping agricultural practices toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly future. This paper outlines the relevant literary discourse surrounding these concepts while emphasizing the significance of addressing agricultural challenges related to pests and diseases with this novel approach.

    Current Trends in Environmental Impact and Risk Assessment
    (Tailor and Francis, 2026) Alhassan, Alhassan Muhammad; Isibor, Patrick Omoregie; Chimbekujwo, Konjerimam Ishaku; Oyewole, Oluwafemi Adebayo; Adetunji, Charles Oluwaseun
    In the modern world, an essential tool for environmental policy is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). EIAs have been used in almost every country on the earth since they were initially included in the 1969 US National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). A recent study found that the EIRA was incorporated into the legal frameworks of 183 of the 197 nations that were assessed. These numbers will increase if one accounts for the countries that ratify international accords or other documents mentioning the usage of EIRA even though they do not have legally necessary EIRAs. The use of EIRA has increased across national jurisdictions, financial institutions, and large organizations.
