Pesticide Residues Threaten Environment, Biodiversity, and Human Health.
Pesticides used in farming are harming the environment and our health. They are contaminating soil and water, leading to a decline in biodiversity and endangering species like bees and birds. The chemicals are also making their way up the food chain, affecting humans with serious health issues like cancer and mental health problems. The United Nations warns that pollinators like bees are at risk of extinction due to pesticide exposure. Integrated pest management is suggested as a solution to reduce pesticide use and protect the environment and human health.
