Chiral pesticides stereoselectively accelerate N2O emission through aerobic denitrification

Puntos clave

• N2O emission increases when chiral pesticides are applied, affecting the nitrogen cycle.
• Chiral pesticides accelerate the process of aerobic denitrification, altering greenhouse gas dynamics.
• Analysis of soil samples shows significant N2O emission due to pesticide application in agricultural settings.
• These findings suggest environmental implications, especially in terms of greenhouse gas contributions from agricultural practices.
