Depending on how you apply the ozone, ozone does destroy most insecticides and pesticides, colors, fats, vitamins, proteins, amino acids... basically any useful consitituents of food. If applied as a surface treatment, to is fine for decontamination, since it decays back to oxygen. But if this stuff is deep in the food, say uptaken by plant roots, or ingested by the animal whose tissue is food, you are stuck with it. Your best hope is cooking, which will break down these compounds to something more benign... and with it some of the nutrition in the food. It is the price of having a population 10 - 100 times more than Nature can support without use of these or similar chemicals.

What are the positives of genetically modified food?
-more food production - better nutrition - pesticide resistance
How will the ozone hole affect the antarctic food chain and humans?
Ozone hole will affect Antarctic food chain. It will kill all the planktons.
Why does the government allow your food to be poisoned and is all food in America Monsanto food?
All food in America is not Monsanto food. Monsanto company of seeds, supply some genetically modified crop seeds to the farmers for better crop production. GMO foods are not to be taken as poisoned. Infact these genes are incorporated to add novelty in the product of commerce. It is the pesticide and insecticide marketing loby that is malining Monsanto or any seed company providing GMO crops to minimize the use of insecticides and pesticides.
What are the expected effects of ozone depletion on food and forests?
ozone depletion causes the UV rays to enter the earth. These rays are fatal for food and forests.
What is the eco insecticide?
They are chemical free products made from plant/food oils that kill bugs
Do pesticide residues in food harm people's health?
Residues in food can harm human health because the poisonous chemicals that are in the pesticide gets carried through the food chain and the highest in the food chain gets the most effect as the poison builds up To read more visit the Related Link.
Will all life on Earth die off before the ozone layer vanishes?
No. Like on Mars, which has no significant ozone, there may be DNA-based life under the soil or deep in our ocean. Additionally, we have found single-celled life based on only RNA above the ozone layer. Man and his food supplies will not survive a complete loss of the protection of the ozone layer. But then, it will not take a complete loss to remove him from the planet either.
How do pesticides accumulate down on food chains?
some pesticides such as methyl bromide accumulate in the air. this effects our ozone layer. it converts ozone molecules to oxygen harming our ozone layer
What happens to pesticide concentrations as they move through the food pyramid?
The pesticide concentrations go up, because, for example, if an eagle eats 4 infected mice, then the eagle gets more of that concentration, because it has been exposed more and as the eagle repairs it's cells the pesticide is reproduced with the cells.
