THE CONSEQUENCES OF PESTICIDES ON HUMAN HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT: A REVIEWAnupama Rajput, Jan nashin, Arpitha Raj, Anamika, Tabish, Janice, Kashish Gogia, Kanishka and Prachika RajputAbstract In spite of proceeding differences over the degree of hazard postured by pesticides, it shows that individuals have gotten to be progressively concerned about pesticide utilization and especially about their impacts on human wellbeing and natural quality. We have discussed many different kinds of pesticides, and their specific use cases. Contrary to what has been shown, these pesticides have a lasting effect on soil, plants and the ever important human health. Our findings then brought us to the pressing matter of the preventive measures that one can take in order to significantly reduce these hazardous chemicals from degrading the environment. Highlighting the costs that the agricultural sector will incur in reducing the risks involved with pesticide use, we also discuss the Integrated Crop Management (ICM) system, which includes guidelines for the production of safe agricultural products with respect to the environment. Another interesting fact is that the ICM system allows for pesticide use only through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which has specific criteria for pesticide selection and application. In summary, this report emphasizes that the introduction of the IPM system would significantly reduce the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment without affecting crop productivity or increasing the risk of crop losses. |
