Children have been found to be especially susceptible to the harmful effects of pesticides. A number of research studies have found higher instances of brain cancer, leukemia and birth defects in children with early exposure to pesticides, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Peer-reviewed studies now suggest neurotoxic effects on developing animals from organophosphate pesticides at legally-tolerable levels, including fewer nerve cells, lower birth weights, and lower cognitive scores.

How has pesticides affected the air?
Pesticides can contribute to air pollution through volatilization of active ingredients and other chemical components. When pesticides are applied, they can become airborne and drift, potentially impacting air quality, human health, and the environment. Exposure to pesticide residues in the air can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems for both humans and animals.
What causes the use of pesticides?
Pesticides are used to control pests that can damage crops, spread disease, or harm humans or animals. Factors such as increased monoculture farming, globalization, and pest resistance contribute to the use of pesticides in agriculture.
Do biological pesticides dont have toxic effect on animals and peoples?
Biological pesticides are generally considered to have lower toxicity to humans and animals compared to chemical pesticides. However, some biological pesticides can still pose risks if not used properly, such as through skin contact or ingestion. It is important to follow safety guidelines and instructions when using any type of pesticide to minimize potential harm to animals and people.
What problems do the animals have in Antarctica?
Animals don't typically have 'problems' as we humans have problems. There are no endangered species breeding on Antarctica's beaches, and the food chain among the animals means that some animals are consumed by other animals as food.
