Research and Document Global Pesticide Usage

1. Choose a location where a specific pesticide is commonly used

2. Research the following information about the pesticide:

Pesticide classification/type

Toxicity level (LD50)

Known environmental or health impacts

3. Create a post by clicking the + button and selecting your location

4. Fill in all required information in the form

5. Add an image of the pesticide or its effects as your attachment

Note : Be sure to verify your sources and include scientific data when available.

 1. Soil Impact•Persistence: Glyphosate binds tightly to soil particles, which prevents it from moving easily through the soil. It has a half-life of 2 days to 6 months, depending on soil conditions (temperature, microbes, moisture).2. Water Impact•Runoff and drift: Glyphosate can wash into rivers, lakes, or groundwater through surface runoff or spray drift during application. 3. Impact on Wildlife and Pollinators•Bees and other pollinators: Glyphosate wasn’t originally considered harmful to bees. However, newer studies show it may affect gut bacteria in bees, weakening their immune systems and making them more vulnerable to disease. 4. Ecosystem Balance•Weed resistance: Overuse has led to the rise of glyphosate-resistant “superweeds”, like Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, forcing farmers to use even more herbicides or turn to stronger chemicals.——— source: chat gpt

Chlorpyrifos is highly toxic to the environment and human health. It contaminates water, harms fish, bees, and birds, and disrupts soil ecosystems. In humans, it affects the nervous system, causing headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues, and long-term developmental and neurological damage, especially in children. Due to these risks, many countries have banned or restricted its use

health impacts: exposure can lead to neurological symptoms such as paralysis, chronic exposure can lead to persistent health issues. Environmental impacts: Diquat can persist in the environment, contaminating soil and water sources, which affects both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Its non-selective nature can harm non-target plant species, reducing biodiversity.—Source: The Guardian
