Pesticides: Guilty Of Pollution And Climate Change

Pesticides: guilty of pollution and climate change

The planet is going through one of the greatest catastrophes that has existed: the global warming and unfortunately this has been caused by us for what is our mission to reverse it or minimal to stop the damages that are being increased day by dayIn temperatures or natural disasters/phenomena that normally occur. Global warming has many causes such as garbage in the seas or deforestation, but something that not many know is that the excessive use of pesticides (which is a type of pesticide) in crops also favors global warming, sothat we must ask ourselves if this should continue to be used as a means of "protection" against pests. Personally I think it should be used since it contains a high amount of chemicals, which not only affect the environment but also the same crops since these are used in agriculture, sometimes they become very concentrated andThey can be eating waste from these causing a strong stomach infection to the consumer.

First, we have to know what is the cycle of pesticides in the environment, this cycle has 3 possible courses. One of these is based that the quality of water that is close to it can damage in the crops since at the time the pesticides are adsorbed by the crops, they pass to the groundwater or superficial waters because the pesticides contain chemicalsthat allow these to be transported by water, causing them to finally reach the seas and rivers, this is very dangerous for much ecosystems and the food chain since this chemicals become bioavailable to the aquatic ecosystem, more specifically aquatic organisms that you have toYour skin, guts and its exposed feed.

The harmful thing is that these aquatic organisms can be consumed by other living beings such as fish or even human beings, as stated by Sal and Roca (2018) “Therefore, the use of pesticides near surface waters submits to a highRisk to aquatic ecosystem, its species and the organisms that depend on it ”since as we all know, the human consumes many organisms that are in the sea, so much so that there is already a specialized trade to this type of sales.

Second, it is important to emphasize another of the possible courses that can take pesticides in the cycle that these have in the environment is their evaporation, which is possible since as it is a liquid it can evaporate, in the same wayThat water does, but in this case it is due to ultraviolet rays since many of the chemicals used in pesticides degrade when they are exposed to these rays. At the time they evaporate, they go directly to the atmosphere, these chemical gases can affect the health of people who are close to crops since many of the chemicals that are used are highly dangerous and harmful toliving beings since they not only affect humans but also animals, such as bees this is because pesticides do not differentiate between living beings that are "good" or "bad", as Devine says (2007)"It is likely that the vast majority of events for poisoning with insecticides in organisms that are not the objective". This shows that pesticides are harmful to the health of many living beings and that they do not always fulfill their main function, finally attacking innocent animals/people.

Third, I must point out that the last course is the conservation of this in the crop fields. When a pesticide is thrown in the fields, it leaves a large amount of waste which directly affects the fauna that is under these cultivation lands, these animals are those that help many times in organic fertilizers, that is to say the worms, snails,etc., Although this depends a lot on pesticide as NPic (2015) says “some pesticides can degrade rapidly when applied to soils, while others can persist for longer periods. The type of soil and type of pesticide can also affect the persistence of pesticides ”. This shows that it is very important not only to see very well the type of land in which these pesticides are being thrown, but also the type and ingredients that these contain since everything greatly influences the damage that these can to the animals, people, peopleor ecosystems from many countries, in addition we must take into account the protection measures that the people in charge of spreading these chemicals have since as stated above, many of the chemicals that are used are very dangerous and harmful to humans for humans.

In conclusion, it is very important to find out about the damages and precautions that mustConsequences that benefits and much of these "benefits" are not totally insured since many times animals that are the objective of pesticides are killed, for all these causes it should stop using pesticides in agriculture not only because it causes us harmto us but also because it does great damage to planet since it collaborates with global warming, which must be stopped not supporting themselves.
