Abstract
The industrialization of agriculture has made natural ecosystems more chemically burdened. Agrochemicals
known as pesticides. Use of pesticides is common in controlling weeds and insect infestation in agricultural fields
as well as a variety of pests and disease carriers such as mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, and mice in homes, workplaces, shopping centers, and public areas their exposure through numerous pathways such as residues in food and
drinking water, inhalation, ingestion, eye, and dermal contact. Although these risks can have short-term effects
e.g., skin and eye irritation, headaches, dizziness, and nausea, or long-term effects e.g., cancer, asthma, infertility,
allergy, Parkinson’s disease, and birth defects on human health. It is challenging to determine the risks because of
the interaction of many variables, including the duration and intensity of exposure, the type of pesticide (in terms
of toxicity and persistence), and the environmental characteristics of the affected areas.
