Pesticides which were invented to destroy large quantities of insects that were harming crops, are actually causing a great deal of harm to the environment. This has been an issue particularly in the agricultural field. Farmers and those in the agricultural field have for a long time had to deal with insects which try to attack their crops and ruin their potential harvest. To combat these bugs, scientists were able to create chemical combinations which would kill the insects and then protect the crops which could then be sold and given to humans. These chemicals, such as DDT, were very successful and farmers had more to harvest than they had in years past (right 2007). However, there was an unforeseen result of the mass spraying of poisonous chemicals on the food stuffs. Human beings were negatively affected in a multitude of ways including contracting illnesses as a result of ingesting….

The genetic developments and modifications are also major cause of increased requirements for pesticides. The crops are grown in off seasons and as a result they require additional support to achieve high production volumes.
Solutions:

The solutions for the issue related to awareness can be attained through multiple sources. The geological awareness should be focused on the land ethics principles. Several solutions are available to increase awareness among the users of pesticides. These can be farmers. They could be easily perused to abstain from such chemical opinions as they have the tendency to cause serious health and land damages. The companies can also adopt it as a green slogan to minimize the marketing and promotions of harmful pesticides. In rerun they can offer batter remedies using bio-research capabilities.

Conclusion:

The awareness is verified in accordance with the provisions and support of land ethics to facilitate elimination of issues of personal attention for geological….

These pesticides are cholinesterase-inhibiting organophosphates and carbamates. The reason for their popularity is their low cost and their ability to work against a wide variety of insects. However when those very insects are consumed by birds, the result is fatal as birds either die or develop abnormalities in their reproductive system. Some target specific pesticides are less toxic and may not harm the bird population but still caution must be applied. Diazinon is the most lethal insecticide and some recent cases have shown their detrimental impact on birds. Insects and vegetation under pesticide treatment are the biggest cause of lethal poisoning of birds. It must also be pointed out that birds may not immediately die after consuming pesticides. There are instances when birds after having tasted pesticides would start losing weight. Their health suffers and they become more vulnerable to other predators such as bad weather or scavengers such….

A report by Elliot (2009) also refers to other positive aspects of organically grown food. "…research found higher level of antioxidants -- which help the body to combat cancer and cardiovascular disease -- in organic foods" (Elliot, 2009).
In the final analysis it seems from the literature that there is overwhelming evidence to link pesticides in food with serious health issues and problems in children. This is especially critical with regard to very young children who may suffer from cancer and developmental problems as a result of exposure to food that has been contaminated by chemical pesticides. This leads to the recommendation that more should be done by the health authorities to ensure that young children in particular are not exposed to food that may be detrimental to their health.

Understanding Water Quality Concerns: A Closer Look at PesticidesDefining Pesticides:The EPA describes a \\\"pesticide\\\" as a substance or combination of substances intended for (1) the prevention, elimination, repulsion, or mitigation of any pest, (2) use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant, or (3) use as a nitrogen stabilizer. Although this formal definition is relatively recent, pesticides have been integral to agricultural production worldwide for centuries and have likely played an essential role in managing insects, weeds, and diseases. For example, sulfur\\\'s use for controlling plant diseases can be traced back 4500 years to its first application in Sumeria. Mercury and arsenic salts were later introduced, and the insecticidal properties of chrysanthemum flower extracts (pyrethrum) were discovered approximately 2000 years ago. Indeed, natural substances have long been employed to help manage pests in agriculture (eeves et al., 2019).Contemporary Uses of Pesticides:Many substances utilized daily are classified as pesticides if marketed….

Pesticide unoffBackground of the Water Quality Issue: Agricultural Pesticide unoff in ural Water SuppliesAgricultural pesticide runoff in rural water supplies is a significant water quality issue that warrants a public health response. This problem is characterized by the movement of pesticides, which are substances used to prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate any pest, from agricultural fields into rural water supplies. This runoff can occur during rainfall or irrigation when water, moving over the surface of the field, picks up pesticide residues and transports them to nearby water bodies. This paper provides an historical review of this issue, describes the current state of the problem, and assesses exposure and the public health impact response needed.Historical eview of the Water Quality ConcernThe use of pesticides in agriculture has a long history, dating back to the mid-20th century with the advent of synthetic pesticides like DDT. These substances were initially hailed as a….

Causes of Chronic Bronchitis in Workers
This review shows the literature and research available in the issue of respiratory diseases and the various occupations. The review shows that there is a pressing need to evaluate and conduct research in the known areas like coal, cement, and pesticides, but alarmingly agriculture and other industries have also to be included.

It is not only the factories that are hazardous. There are arguments to show that even farming can cause allergies. osenman (2012) in viewing "respiratory hazards that farmers and family members" argues that the grains that can be "contaminated with fungi, bacteria or microbial toxins; pesticides; solvents; gasoline and diesel fuels; and irritant gases such as oxides of nitrogen and ammonia." This may lead to occupational asthma and the allergens in such cases could be grain dust, cow dander, cow urine, egg yolk proteins, alternaria, aspergillus, cladosporium, meal worm, poultry mites, fungi, grain mite,….

Simple procedures can help, but not eliminate drift issues, and are quite low tech. First, depending on the wind and time of day, close the windows that face the field or prevailing wind. Add a fan to create a backdraft by pulling air through the home in the opposite direction of the drift. Once the spraying is done and the drift settled a bit, hose down nearby bushes, windows, the roof and outside of the house. At any signs of exposure, wash eyes with clear water and try to shower several times to remove as much of the potential chemical contamination as possible
Publicize -- Certainly public strikes, marches, and visible actions bring public scruitiny into the issue. Because a great deal of the problem lies in the California agricultural region, an organization was formed as a type of State and national clearinghouse for action, information, and change. This organization,….

People can exercise their free choice at the grocery store by choosing organic foods, although because of generally higher costs of organic products, this will not be a solution for everyone. People in lower socioeconomic groups often get food at discount chains or even food pantries where organics are not even a choice at all.
There is no incentive for makers of agricultural chemicals to modify their products in response to charges about obesogens. As the documentary films the Future of Food and King Corn pointed out, the use of pesticides is very big business. Though detrimental effects of pesticides and genetically-modified seeds and food have been shown, further research is needed to prove the link between pesticides and genetic modifications that lead to obesity in infants and children. When and if that link is proven, the public will have to demand that the government take action. Consumer advocate organizations….

GMOs and Increased Use of Herbicides
Genetically engineered crops have become common in the recent past as farmers throughout the world have planted huge portions of these crops. The increased plantations of these crops have contributed to controversies and debates regarding the use of herbicides. According to bio-agriculture companies, genetically engineering foods contribute to the reduction in the use of herbicides. However, there are counterarguments that the GMOs contribute to increased use of herbicides unlike claims by these bio-agriculture companies. This controversy is largely fueled by the belief that genetically engineered crops are developed to withstand herbicides. Nonetheless, herbicides are bad for people and the environment and the argument that herbicide resistant crops will reduce the use of herbicides is false.

Arguments on the effectiveness and safety of herbicide and pesticide resistant GMO crops

As previously mentioned, several arguments and counterarguments have been raised regarding GMOs and the use of herbicides. One of….

Organics trip to the local grocery store will reveal that organic vegetables and fruits not only look better than their non-organic counterparts: they are in many cases also not that much more expensive. As a result, many mainstream supermarkets are starting to carry organic lines of produce, offering more choice to consumers. The Albertson's chain in ashington State recently started stocking shelves with organic coffee; UK food retail giant Safeway added organic meats to its shelves, all of which is locally produced. Increasing numbers of packaged foods are being made with organic ingredients and many of them don't cost more than non-organic counterparts. However, the organic food industry still has a long uphill battle to fight. Organic agriculture is a system of production that eliminates "the use of synthetic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, veterinary drugs, genetically modified seeds and breeds, preservatives, additives and irradiation," replacing them with….

Modern day examples of human modification of an ecosystem

Module 01 Question 01: Preservation of the existing ecosystems

Various measures have been put in order to modify and contain the natural state of the ecosystem. Preservation is one of the approaches that have been used to foster equitable management of the ecosystem. Through preservation, it has become evident that the ecosystem has taken a different understanding from the avenue of human perception. For instance, rules and regulations that help to protect the ecosystem have changed the entire perception of the ecosystem globally. Initially before the establishment of preservation approaches, the ecosystem was getting devastated gradually. Nonetheless, modification has come with the introduction of laws and regulations that work towards protection and preservation of the available avenues in the market.

Through the rules and regulations created, the ecosystem has achieved a new state of protection in the society. For instance,….

In 1985 it was reported that honeybees were shown to be sensitive to "magnetic flux differences of 1 nanotesla (10microGauss)." (Sepp Hasselberger, 2009)
Stated to be one of the primary problems is that radiations from mobile phones which have changed from analog to digital means that these are pulsed at approximately 220 packets per second and that this frequency is real close to the native frequency of the bees hum ranging in from 190 to 250 cycles per second. (Sepp Hasselberger, 2009)

The work of Gaigg (2007) entitled: "The ig ee Death" states that research has led to the investigation of a variety of possible reasons for CCD including:

(1) An exceptionally cold winter;

(2) Genetically modified plants;

(3) Monocultures;

(4) Toxic pesticides; and (5) Varroa mites.

The problem is that according to Gaigg (2007): "…none of these can explain the occurring phenomena in a satisfactory manner." In 1976 it was reported in the work of….

Rachel Carson, she asserts that water is our most precious natural resource and goes on to state that "most of the earth's abundant water is not usable for agriculture, industry, or human consumption because of its heavy load of sea salts" (1) and therefore "in the midst of this plenty we are in want" (1).
Okay, so let's examine this particular argument; first she says that the earth's abundant water is not usable for consumption etc., due to the fact that the water contains a heavy load of sea salts. Really? Rachel offers no facts and no figures to back up her assertion, instead she implies that we are desperately in need of drinking water because most of the water is so heavily sedated with salt that it is undrinkable.

Even assuming that her assertion was true, the logical answer to the dilemma is that the water would have to be….

Natural Selection
First described in full by Charles Darwin, natural selection refers to the process by which organisms evolve by adapting to their environments. Natural selection does not occur instantly in response to an environmental change, however. Rather, natural selection occurs over the course of several successive generations. Those organisms that successfully survive the environmental changes due to their inherited traits will pass on their genes to their offspring. Thus, only those organisms with hardy genes will survive; hence the phrase "survival of the fittest." While natural selection does occur unaided by human beings in the natural world, humans are beginning to alter the course of natural evolution through the creation and implementation of certain chemical products. Moreover, environmental pollution and other human factors impact the process of natural selection and evolution in the plant and animal kingdoms. Chemical products such as antibiotics, pesticides, and herbicides in particular threaten to create….
