That they affect environmental quality, food webs, population sustainability, and non-target audiences are harmful effects of insecticides. Insecticides can remain in the environment long enough to impact people's health and wildlife's well-being as well as diminish or eliminate predator-prey interactions and pollute such vital Natural Resources as air and water.

3 Are there health risks associated with using chemical pesticides?
Yes, there are health risks associated with using chemical pesticides. Pesticides can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and long-term health effects such as cancer and reproductive issues. It is important to follow safety precautions and use protective gear when handling chemical pesticides.
What type of engineer develops products like fertilizers pesticides cosmetics and synthetic materials like plastics and nylon?
The products you have mentioned were developed using chemical engineering.
Is microwave ruined when using previous Pyrex garden chemicals were used?
If you were using garden chemicals in the microwave, it is probably ruined as the microwave contains many plastics that can retain and absorb chemicals. Don't trust your food with any herbicides or pesticides. On the other hand if the chemicals were only used in a Pyrex dish that has been in the microwave, there may be no problem at all. Pyrex like other glass objects does not retain or absorb chemicals and is easily washed (this is part of the reason it is used for chemical laboratory glassware).
Is lime organic?
Yes, lime can be grown organically. Organic limes are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. It is important to look for organic certification if you want to ensure that the limes you are buying are grown using organic practices.
How do herbicides work?
Depends on what you want to use them for. I have used lavender and or tea tea to wash my hands after gardening for years. When you work in the dirt and around plants your skin sustains lots of small superficial scratches and gouges, since I started using the lavender wash I have not had a single problem with the scratches swelling and/or turning red.
What is the difference between organic apples and un-organic apples?
Organic apples aren't sprayed with pesticides/ herbicides, grown using chemical fertilizers in the soil, and are non-GMO (non genetically modified)
How does biological control and genetic modification be used instead of pesticides and herbicides to control pests that destroy crops?
Biological control involves using natural enemies of pests, such as predators or pathogens, to keep pest populations in check. Genetic modification can be used to engineer crops that are resistant to pests, reducing the need for chemical control methods. These approaches can be more environmentally friendly and sustainable than using pesticides and herbicides.
What is the negative consequence of using pesticides and herbicides?
It doesn't taste nearly as good, even after you wash it, and it's not as healthy for you or the environment.

Why is organic food better for us?
Because it has no pesticides, and is not grown using chemical fertilizers.
What type of chemical compound used for killing pest?
In general, such chemical compounds are called pesticides. Different types of pests require different pesticides to control them. Permethrin is a very common pesticide used for controlling insect pests. My ex-girlfriend is a total pest and I have considered using Lead and Cordite to control her.
What are the pros and cons of fertilizers?
Pros: Greater crop yields per metre squared. If using pesticides/herbicides removal of competition/consumers. Cons: Eutrophication, general environmental pollution.

Which is not an advantage of using biopesticides?
One disadvantage of using biopesticides is that they may have a slower effect compared to synthetic chemical pesticides.
What was the important lesson from Rachel Carsons book?
She highlighted the dangers of using certain pesticides, resulting in governmental bans and widespread environmentalism as we know it today.
Is food organic at Ecuador?
If the food is grown without using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides and does not contain GMOs, it is organic. There is a good chance that it least some food grown in Ecuador is grown organically.
What reason might a farmer have for using biological control instead of chemical pesticides?
A farmer might choose biological control over chemical pesticides to minimize negative impacts on the environment and human health, reduce chemical residues on produce, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Biological control methods also have the potential for long-term pest management and are often more target-specific.
