THE USE OF PESTICIDES IN AGRICULTURE AND THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCE ON HUMAN HEALTH AND LIFE
Abstract
There are pesticides with a scent and specific but also there are odorous phytosanitary substances, the latter being clearly more dangerous than the first because they do not warn about their presence in the air in the given case. Why do pesticides have negative effects? Pesticides are synthetic chemicals, foreign to the animal and vegetable kingdoms. They can not be biologically assimilated, so that after dispersions, they accumulate in the organs of the human body, in the soil and in the plants. In humans, pesticides can have direct toxic effects when the active substance produces immediate and immediate indirect effects when the active substance produces tardive visible effects as a result of bioaccumulation (in the liver, kidney, brain, adipose tissue, etc.). Indirect toxicity may occur after a long period of time and may result in a variety of conditions such as: lymphomas, leukemias, soft tissue sarcomas, brain, breast, prostate, bone, bladder, thyroid, colon, liver, lung cancer; obesity; Parkinson's disease; congenital malformations in children; dementia and Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; affecting the immune system cognitive impairment in children.
