[237092] Huw Irranca-Davies: The majority of pesticides are used in agriculture. Pesticides Safety Directorate's impact assessment, which was published in May 2008, therefore focused on the agronomic impacts of changes to pesticide availability arising from these proposals. It recognised that there could be wider implications, but did not analyse them in detail, as the agronomic assessment provided sufficient indication of the potential impacts to determine our response. On 5 November the European Parliament Environment Committee voted on a range of amendments that reduce the potential impact of the new regulation on the availability of pesticides.

Petitions by Change.org Start a Petition Three years ago, while my extended family was vacationing at my dad's cranberry farm, he mentioned that one of his fields would be sprayed that evening. There were five children under 10 in the house, and I was eight months pregnant. The field was 100 feet away. I asked my dad about the pesticides, but he said, "Don't worry. The government runs tests on the chemicals. They make sure they're safe." That night, through a closed window, I watched the plane rumble low over the field, the fog behind it drizzling softly to the ground. Behind me, in the house, the kids laughed and called, playing hide-and-seek. I started wondering about these tests.

Information about pesticides Home How Harmful are Pesticides to the Environment Why are Pesticides Bad for the Environment? Pesticides are commonly used outdoors to rid your lawn and garden of weeds and certain insects, like grubs and aphids. Though some pesticides and forms of pest control services like Terminix can be beneficial in decreasing the populations of harmful or destructive insects, others can be damaging to the environment and cause all sorts of problems. Studies have shown that pesticides can be extremely unsafe, particularly when they run off into waterways, which can cause both short and long term damage to people and the environment. Pesticides can also inadvertently kill living things that they are not intended to. As a whole, pesticides do provide some benefits, but they are also known to harm the environment and the plants and animals that it contains. Pesticides are particularly damaging when they are introduced into rivers, streams, and other bodies of water. This can occur when the pesticide leaches through the soil where it is applied, when it's accidentally spilled into the water, when water run off is contaminated, or through "pesticide drift." Pesticide drift happens when sprayed particles move, or drift, to another area. In waterways, millions of fish are killed by pesticides each year, and other aquatic life also suffers the consequences of pesticide-contaminated water. Pesticides are also known to add to air pollution as a result of pesticide drift, and some even play a role in harming the ozone layer and contributing to global warming. Additionally, pesticides have a resistance to breaking down over time, meaning that their effects can continue over a long period of time.

Court Cancels EPA Clean Water Act Exemption for Pesticides CINCINNATI, Ohio , January 7, 2009 (ENS) - Environmental groups today celebrated their victory as an appeals court vacated a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule that has allowed pesticides to be applied to U.S. waters without a Clean Water Act permit. On November 27, 2007, the EPA issued the final rule, which states that pesticides applied in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, or FIFRA, are exempt from the Clean Water Act's permitting requirements. The Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of pollutants into the nation's waters by, among other things, requiring entities that emit pollutants to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, NPDES, permit. For nearly 30 years before adoption of the rule, pesticide labels issued under the FIFRA were required to contain a notice stating that the pesticide could not be "discharged into lakes, streams, ponds, or public waters unless in accordance with an NPDES permit." Two different groups of petitioners, one representing environmental interest groups and the other representing industry interest groups, for different reasons opposed the rule as exceeding the EPA's interpretive authority.

External links Use of pesticides can have unintended effects on the environment Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including nontarget species, air, water, bottom sediments, and food. Pesticide contaminates land and water when it escapes from production sites and storage tanks, when it runs off from fields, when it is discarded, when it is sprayed aerially, and when it is sprayed into water to kill algae. The amount of pesticide that migrates from the intended application area is influenced by the particular chemical's properties: its propensity for binding to soil, its vapor pressure , its water solubility , and its resistance to being broken down over time. Factors in the soil, such as its texture, its ability to retain water, and the amount of organic matter contained in it, also affect the amount of pesticide that will leave the area. Some pesticides contribute to global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer edit Air Pesticides can contribute to air pollution .

Dr Mushtaq Hussain Jokhio Pesticides are mainly used to control and eradicate disease vectors of desirable plant species, which in turn improve agricultural productivity. In today's world, particularly in developing countries, the use of pesticides have become so important that they are linked with improvement of human welfare (Otter et al., 1980). Because the losses of crops caused by pests are higher in developing countries, specifically under mono-cropping systems. Pesticide poisoning in developing countries occurs in variety of ways. The group most at risk is farm worker, who mixes and applies pesticides in the field, also enters in the field after spraying. In 1976 massive poisoning among spray men of Malaria Control Programme occurred in Pakistan, and more than 7500 field workers were affected and five of them died (WHO, 1978). These injuries were result of mixing pesticides by hand and other poor practices (USAID, 1977). Effect of Pesticides on Livestock: Increasing use of pesticides has contributed in livestock diseases and mortality in rural areas of Pakistan. In December 1997, in Landhi Karachi, 40 buffaloes and cattle died due to unknown reasons. After laboratory tests it was identified that these animals died due to pesticide poisoning. After feed analysis it was found that their cotton seed cakes were contaminated with organo chlorine pesticide residue. In Tando Adam (Sindh), a herd of cattle and buffalo was affected due to pesticide poisoning, while the herd was grazing in fallow land besides cotton field, because cotton field was sprayed with pesticides.
