Pooja Bhatt
Pages: 4035-4042
Abstract
This document provides a concise overview of recent trends in the use of pesticides in developing countries and its implications for human health and food security.. The degree to which pesticides have been outlawed and the difficulties in regulating them are discussed. To protect crops from pests and weeds, and to boost yields without sacrificing quality, farmers often turn to chemical pesticides. Most farmers don't know that employing pesticides might have harmful effects on their land since the chemicals interact with the environment by changing the characteristics of host substances. Soil particles take up pesticides, which are then distributed throughout the ecosystem by way of the food chain and cause acute and chronic health problems in humans of all ages.
