Harmful Health Effects Associated with Aerial Spraying

More about the book

The paper discusses the escalating concerns regarding the widespread use of pesticides in agriculture, particularly focusing on aerial spraying methods. It highlights the non-selective nature of many pesticides, such as Naled, Resmethrin, and Malathion, which indiscriminately kill beneficial insects, aquatic life, and birds. The potential development of resistance genes in pests poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity, leading to increased economic costs for farmers. The paper emphasizes the urgent need to reconsider pesticide application practices to mitigate these adverse effects.
