The impact of pesticides on people’s Health

Thumbnail

We are exposed to a cocktail of pesticide residues on a daily basis. They are present in dust, water and food. We find them far beyond agricultural areas.They are designed to kill insects, fungi and undesirable plants, but also interact with our cells and organs. They are a major cause of the collapse of biodiversity and are also harmful to human health.
