Pesticides are chemicals used to control pests and increase crop production, but they can have negative effects on human health and the environment. Pesticide exposure can lead to acute poisoning, chronic health effects, birth defects, respiratory problems, and skin irritation in humans. Pesticides can also contaminate soil and water, harm non-target organisms, reduce biodiversity, and contribute to the development of pest resistance and outbreaks. It is crucial to use pesticides responsibly and follow safety precautions to minimize their adverse effects on human health and the environment. So we studied about the commonly used pesticides by farmers and their harmful effects on human body and biodiversity.

Pesticides, environment, health hazards.
