Pesticides Linked to Cancer, Birth Defects, and Food Contamination.
Pesticides are chemicals used in agriculture to protect plants from pests. They can have negative effects on human health, such as causing cancer in adults, affecting pregnancies, and leading to birth defects in children. Pesticides in the environment have been linked to miscarriages, premature births, and developmental delays in children. Residues of pesticides can also be found in food, potentially causing poisoning. The study also discusses alternative products like biopesticides. The main goal was to show how pesticides used in farming can impact human health.
