Abstract

Diazinon can be the source of contamination in the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of the electrochemical process in reducing diazinon from aqueous media. Eighty eight sources (articles) were selected focusing on these studies in Iran. The electrochemical processes used in the removal of pesticides, and in particular of diazinon, have been used more than the rest of the methods, and the removal of these pollutants is high. Biological methods have been considered in the removal of these materials. The results showed that electrochemical processes have the potential for removal of pesticides, including diazinon. Electrochemical and biological methods both have the potential to eliminate pesticides, which according to the conditions and possibilities can be considered.
