The use of pesticides has been very harmful for humans. In Daniel Pepper’s “The Toxic Consequences of the Green Revolution,” it states that in India because of the excessive use of pesticides, people have gotten cancer, along with stillborn children and kidney failure. With these serious illnesses, it gives more body to the argument.

The increase in desire for perfect produce, drives the need for pesticides today. Much debate of the effects of chemicals used on commercial crops and overall long term effects on humans is an increasing concern. With the increase in advertising of organic produce, many standards of farming have been criticized. Many are claiming a large increase in risk to humans for consuming commercially grown produce, because of the chemicals used to manage such a large volume of crops. There have been many debates of the actual risk of pesticide consumption. With advancing technology and farm equipment, many types of chemical sprays and powders have been used. The actual effect of these pesticides and long term exposure can be harmful to human health.

A pesticide is a substance used to eliminate insects or other organisms that come into contact with the plant life that the substance is placed on, this tactic of removal is damaging to both harmful and helpful insects or organisms.

The writer of this paper discusses and summarizes the major provisions of The Federal Insecticide, and Rodenticide Act. Additionally, the author also describes the economic impact of this law and share data to support the discussion. The paper also provides additional information relating to global warming. Furthermore, the essayist offers an opinion as to whether or not The United States of America should adopt other policies or laws to regulate and encourage curbing greenhouse emissions.

Chapter 15: People have spent countless amount of effort and time to mold their surroundings to how they see fit. Despite this, insects seem to be able to resist this change, refusing to die despite the efforts of humankind. Insects are able to adapt to insecticides to the extent that they have become immune to its effects, requiring a new and stronger poison to temporarily deal with them. Scientists argue that they do not understand insects enough to remove them. They have realized the poison kills the weaker of the insects and the enemies of the insects they wish to kill, causing the opposite effect.

Up to forty percent of the world’s potential crop production is already lost annually because of the effects of weeds, pests, and diseases. These crop failures would be doubled if existing pesticides were abandoned. Without crop protection food production would decline and many food products would be in short supply and prices would rise. Crop protection chemicals that reduce and, in some cases, eliminate insect damage allow the consumer to purchase high-quality produce free of insect fragments. Helping to keep food prices in check for the consumer is another large benefit of

Wargo, Alderman, and Wargo, a team of researchers commissioned by the Environmental & Human Health corporation, in Risks from Lawn-care Pesticides: Including Inadequate Packaging and Labeling, discuss the harms of pesticide use, a prevalent practice in the lawn care industry. An advocate of several environmental protection services and bodies, Environmental & Human Health works to identify environmental harms, educate the public on relationship between the environment and human health, and promote public policies that ensure the protection of human and environmental health. The agency writes to communicate with the entire public, but the included information is of most use those for who provide and consume lawn care services; both parties come

This paper argues that there needs to be a greater harmonization of legislation regulating highly hazardous pesticides used in agriculture within all nations. With the numerous studies conducted illustrating the harmful effects to human health and environment, this stricter control of legislation across developed and developing countries is of utmost importance. This requires each nation to have a complete understanding of the methods and practices used to regulate pesticides in other countries and work together to converge the various approaches. It is the role of the government to find a responsible balance between enabling judicious pesticide use where such use is necessary to achieve desirable crop production levels, and reducing the

In this reference work by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Community Outreach & Education Program, I gathered information mostly about pesticides used in conventional farming techniques. With their concentration on pesticides the EHP gave information about the different effects of pesticides on organic and conventional foods. Providing even

The article I choose was “Common Insecticides May Be Linked to Kids' Behavior Problems” by Lindsey Konkel and Environmental Health News and the reason why I choose this article because I find the human brain interesting and I like learning about different chemicals and the effects that chemicals can have on the brain. One question that the article did not answer was that, after saying that more research is still needed, they did not say how they were going to do further research. The author’s intent on writing this article to inform people that pesticides can still be harmful to children even after organophosphate, a former chemical in pest killers, was removed and there are still other chemicals that can cause threats to children developmental growth.

Most of the company’s products are closely related in the sense that they are household products such as Always,

Pesticides and their alternatives are an undeniable part of modern life, used to protect everything from flower gardens to agricultural crops from specific pests (Saravi & Shokrzadeh, 2011) Pesticides are considered a vital component of modern farming, playing a major role in maintaining high agricultural productivity. Consequently, in high-input intensive agricultural production systems, the widespread use of pesticides to manage pests has emerged as a dominant feature (Saravi & Shokrzadeh, 2011) Pesticides comprise a large number of substances that belong to many different chemical classes, they are applied to crops at various stages of cultivation to provide protection against pests and during post-harvest storage to preserve quality, to ensure the safety of food for consumers and regulate international trade and legislation. Pesticides are considered to be essential for agricultural development; some of them can cause serious ambient contamination, principally in food (Sitta et al., 2000; Gonzalez et al., 2003). This hazard, could be further increased in case of vegetable fruits which are usually consumed freshly e.g. consumed vegetable fruits freshly contaminated with pesticide residues, more than allowable tolerance (Romeh et al., 2000). Various human health related

There were a number of ideas presented in the book that were unfamiliar, such as the idea that plants, animals and people died, either from ingestion of the pesticides used to kill insects in plants or indirect consumption of it. These chemicals are sprayed on crops and forest and is embedded in the soil and enters living organisms, moving from one organism to another. It was particularly interesting to find out that fruit trees blossom but did not produce any fruits because the bees did not pollinate the blossoms and the birds laid their eggs but they were never hatched. All this was a result of the dangerous effects of the pesticides and herbicides used. Especially DDT, it was most often aerially sprayed without the public’s knowledge to exterminate mosquitoes and other insects but it affected the unhatched birds by making their egg shells tremendously thin which resulted in damaged and fragile eggs not being hatched. The most unfamiliar mass of information in this text was the Strontium 90 chemical which was released through nuclear explosions in the air. This chemical reverts to the earth in the form of rain which then penetrates into the soil, enters into the grass, crops, overall vegetation, other living organisms and eventually into the bones human beings. This unfortunately, never leaves the body of human beings. I was oblivious to the fact that some rocks produces and expel dangerous radiation until I read Silent Spring. Though this is fascinating, it brings me to
