Pesticides in Agriculture Threaten Human Health and Environment
The use of pesticides in agriculture is causing harm to both humans and the environment. These chemicals are increasing in our food and surroundings, leading to negative effects on health and ecosystems. Pesticides not only kill pests but also harm other organisms like birds and beneficial insects. Insecticides are especially toxic, and herbicides can also be dangerous. Many pesticides do not break down easily and can build up in the food chain, impacting human and animal health. Overall, the excessive use of pesticides is causing serious damage to soil, water, and vegetation, posing a threat to the environment and ecosystem.
