How do persistent and non-persistent pesticides differ?
Non-persistent pesticides are compounds that break down quickly in the environment. Several different classes of pesticides make up this group: • Cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides, which includes the organophosphates and carbamates • Chlorinated phenols • Herbicides • Pyrethroids • Fungicides • Repellents Non-persistent pesticides became widely used after persistent organochlorine pesticides were banned from manufacture and use in the United States in the 1970s. Non-persistent pesticides are less harmful to the environment because they do not build up but they have to be applied more often to households and crops to be effective.
Why are non-persistent pesticides more dangerous than persistent pesticides?
Non-persistent and persistent pesticides are equally dangerous, but non-persistent has immediate impacts whereas persistent pesticides wield long-term effects.Specifically, non-persistent pesticides include the super-powerful organophosphate malathion. They may impact people and wildlife for hours to weeks until they degenerate. In contrast, chlorinated hydrocarbons represent prime examples of persistent pesticides which survive for months to decades in the environment.It is the difference between immediate, sudden death or disability and long-term, protracted fatalities.
