Environmental Contamination of Pesticides and its Toxic Effects as Endocrine Disruptors
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The intensive use of pesticides in agriculture inevitably leads to the fact that the residues of these agrochemicals can be detected in water, air and soil. In general, these residues degrade slowly, which is why they are widely distributed in the environment, and even present at low levels, they can cause damage to human health as well as wildlife, due to their toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic nature and teratogenic [1-4]. This reality is cause for concern in society and the entire world, which is why in several countries there is restrictive legislation developed with the purpose of preserving natural resources and human health, which is little controlled and complied with.
