Impacts
of pesticides on human health:
Respiratory issues:
The Brazilian population is highly impacted by the use of pesticides
in crop preservation as lately it is being consumed by the public
and causing serious respiratory illness. Most people face difficulty
breathing and speaking as their throats are badly infected. It can
result in fatality if not treated on time and seriously.
Pesticides in human tissues:
Research has examined the levels of pesticides and their breakdown
products in human samples, such as hair and blood, from workers in
Brazil's South and Southeast regions. The findings revealed the
presence of toxic metals like arsenic, nickel, manganese, zinc, and
copper, which are associated with long-term pesticide exposure and
increase the risk of developing related health disorders.
DNA Damage:
Research has shown a most significant impact on genetic toxicity,
which disturbs normal metabolic and oxidative processes, leading to
DNA damage and heritable changes in gene expression.
Dangerous Diseases:
It also leads to various other serious problems in the Brazilian
public like skin and eye irritations, pain, hair loss, skin
infections, metabolic imbalances, digestive issues, liver
functioning, and allergies.
