Unregulated pesticide use poses threat to environment and public health
Phosphate pesticides are widely used in agriculture, leading to concerns about their impact on the environment and organisms. These pesticides can persist for a long time and accumulate in the environment, causing harm to both target and non-target organisms. The detection of pesticide residues in soil, water, and air has raised public concern. Some pesticides, like DDT and chlordane, can last in the environment for extended periods. This highlights the need for more regulated and careful use of pesticides to minimize their adverse effects.
