Use of Pesticides leads to Environmental degradation

Abstract

Pesticides are extensively used for agriculture but residues can reach aquaticecosystems, frequently. They are transferred from pytoplankton to fish and human, ultimately. Pyrethroid insecticides are utilized in place of organochlorine,organophosphorus and carbonate to control different forms of pests and raise yield. Pyrethroid intoxication causes cellular damage and increases freeradicals, which leads to lipid peroxidation and, ultimately, oxidative stress.To reduce damage to environment and biologicalsystems by pesticides should be played attention to the toxicity and effects of pesticide
preparations about the ecotoxicological risks in non-target organisms of the ecosystem.Toxic substantance, whether organic in its origin or not, form a big part within the commerical and agriculture fields, mainly for the purpose protecting harvest/agrticultral fields and certian commercial products. Pyrethroids are good examples used in a wider scale for the above puproses.Pyrethroids areproduced by chrysanthemum flowers (e.g. pyrethrums) and made in many varieties, i.e.a range of structures and it used. Theuseofpesticideswasintroducedinour countryduring 1960’s. Today pesticides whichaccumulate in food chain, impose several harmful health hazard.The use of pesticides has been linked to significant detrimental health consequences, which vary depending on the level and duration
of exposure.Healtheffectsofpesticidesrangefrom allergies, breathing difficultiesandcancer.
