Pesticides and chemicals have become a big threat for our health and if we donot take corrective action now we will be in big problems especially health wise.
What can we do to reduce intake of pesticides - well many actions can be taken like:
1- Take only organically grown food.
2- Reduce use of chemicals.
3- Make people aware about problems due to pesticides intake especially the farmers and ask them not to use chemicals and pesticides for farming.
4- People think productivity goes down if we do not use chemical fertilisers and pesticides but it is not so organic inputs can give better results and we need to educated our farmers about this.

What are the methods applied to reduce the intake of pesticides?
The methods applied to reduce the intake of pesticides are as follows:* The use of pesticides in the fields must be regulated* Excessive use of water in the field may wash of the pesticides tothe near by water channel which is taken by human beings
How do you protect birds from pesticides?
To protect birds from pesticides, you can use organic farming methods that reduce pesticide use, plant native vegetation to provide habitat and food sources, and avoid using pesticides during nesting season. Additionally, you can encourage the use of bird-safe pesticides and provide clean water sources for birds to drink from.
Could you give an Examples of advantages in using pesticides?
pest reduce productivity. use of pesticides increases food production and reduces hunger
How can a kid can reduce weight?
Reduce calorie intake below calorie expenditure or increase calorie expenditure above calorie intake. A combination of both.
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.
What kind of run-off are pesticides in?
Many different types of situations could have run-offs of pesticides. Most of these are found on farms when they are sprayed to reduce the amounts of insects in the soil.
How do you reduce Aircraft noise?
The design of the engine intake and exhaust can do a lot to reduce noise levels.
What should you reduce when you have ascites?
You should reduce your salt intake because you could damage your kidneys.
What types of pesticides reduce bioaccumulation?
Pesticides that are easily broken down in the environment, have low persistence, volatility, and tendency to accumulate in living organisms are less likely to contribute to bioaccumulation. Examples include microbial pesticides, botanical pesticides, and certain biopesticides that have specific target organisms and low environmental persistence.
Should chemical pesticides be banned?
Chemical pesticides harm the ecosystem, the environment, and could be harmful to humans; however, without them, we would not be able to produce enough food for the current population. The best alternative is to put more energy into finding natural pesticides (such as garlic oil) which don't harm the environment, but keep insects from ruining the crops, and to make those natural pesticides available before banning chemical pesticides.
What are solutions to biological magnification pesticides?
Reducing monoculture, crop rotation, biological controls, the production of biodegradable pesticides and genetically engineering plants to produce their own pesticides are some solutions to biological magnification. Education about the impact of pesticides on the ecosystem and human health is also important.
How can farmer reduce the use of pesticides?
Farmers can reduce the use of pesticides by implementing integrated pest management strategies, such as crop rotation, using resistant crop varieties, and promoting natural predators to control pests. They can also practice good farm hygiene to prevent pest infestations and regularly monitor their crops to catch pest problems early. Additionally, exploring organic farming practices can help reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides.
