Pesticides are substances used to repel, kill, or control animals (insecticides) or plants (herbicides) that are considered to be pests. There are different types of pesticides, which include synthetic pesticides and biopesticides (Figure 1). Pesticides are used extensively in agriculture and they are also used at a lower scale in our homes and on ourselves.
The environmental impact of pesticides consists of the effects of pesticides on non-target species. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, because they are sprayed or spread across entire agricultural fields.he effects of pesticides on human health depend on the toxicity of the chemical and the length and magnitude of exposure. Farm workers and their families experience the greatest exposure to agricultural pesticides through direct contact. Every human contains pesticides in their fat cells.
