Description
Pesticides are widely used in agriculture and horticulture, as well as domestically. They cover a very wide range of products for eliminating harmful vegetable and animal species. Many pesticides enter into food chains which can cause harm to a great number of higher species. One notable example of this was the use of DDT in the period following World War Two. This insecticide, since banned in many countries, was very useful eliminating the anopheles mosquito in malaria-infected countries, but it was later found in birds and mammals, including humans and particularly in the milk used for feeding babies.
The most common forms of pesticide are wide spectrum insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and algicides.
