20 01 19* Pesticides
Pesticides are an important part of modern agriculture because they help control pests, weeds, and other unwanted organisms. However, the use of pesticides causes significant environmental problems. Pesticides can accumulate in soil, water and food, which leads to environmental pollution and threats to human and animal health.
One of the main problems is the excessive use of pesticides, which is often caused by the desire to increase yields. This leads to the development of resistance in pests, which in turn forces farmers to use even more chemicals. The closed circle of excessive use of pesticides only increases the negative impact on the environment and human health.
The use of pesticides also causes a number of problems related to their chemical nature. Pesticides can include various chemical compounds that have long-term persistence in the environment. This means that even after their use ends, they continue to affect ecosystems and the organisms that live in them.
The problem of pesticides is also related to their impact on soil resources. Pesticides can reduce soil fertility, destroy the structure and destroy beneficial microorganisms. This leads to the need to use even more chemicals to maintain agricultural productivity, again exacerbating the problem.
Another aspect of the problem is the impact of pesticides on water resources. Chemicals can enter water sources through runoff from fields during rains, leading to pollution of rivers, lakes and groundwater. This, in turn, negatively affects aquatic ecosystems and can lead to the death of aquatic organisms.
Insufficient control over the use of pesticides is also an important factor. Failure to comply with dosages, improper storage (D15) and transportation of pesticides can lead to accidental environmental pollution and risk to human health. This requires the implementation of strict regulatory measures and monitoring systems.
The problem is also compounded by the fact that pesticides are often used without proper assessment of their impact on human health and the environment. This can lead to unintended consequences, including the spread of persistent organic pollutants in the environment.
A pity for the environment and people
Pesticides have a wide range of negative effects on the environment. They can enter water sources, contaminating rivers, lakes and groundwater. This leads to the death of aquatic organisms and disruption of ecosystems.
The accumulation of pesticides in the soil also has serious consequences. They can destroy beneficial microorganisms and earthworms, which are important for soil health. Pesticides can affect biodiversity by killing not only pests, but also beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies.
There are various methods of environmental management of hazardous pesticide waste that help reduce their negative impact on the environment.
- use of natural enemies of pests
- application of biological pesticides
- implementation of integrated pest management
Pity for people
The impact of pesticides on human health is also a significant problem. Pesticides can enter the body through the respiratory tract, skin and food, causing various diseases.
Frequent contact with pesticides can cause allergic reactions, skin and eye irritation, as well as disruption of the functions of the respiratory and nervous systems. Long-term exposure to pesticides is associated with the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, reproductive disorders and developmental disorders in children.
Agricultural workers and their families, who may be in constant contact with chemicals, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of pesticides.
- protective measures at the workplace;
- compliance with safety rules when working with pesticides;
- regular medical examination of employees.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the negative impact of pesticides, it is necessary to implement effective methods of environmental management of hazardous pesticide waste. This includes the use of alternative pest control methods such as biological pesticides and integrated pest management.
It is also important to carry out operations for the collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous pesticide waste in order to minimize their negative impact on the environment. Transportation of hazardous pesticide waste must be carried out in accordance with all safety requirements.
- implementation of modern waste treatment technologies (D10);
- ensuring proper control over the storage of pesticides;
- training and informing farmers about the safe use of pesticides.
