“Additionally it is essential to cut back your publicity to pesticides as a result of pesticides have been linked to a wide range of well being harms, like most cancers, hormone disruption, and damaging kids’s creating brains,” he says. “Switching to natural produce is an efficient method...
The use of plant protection drugs (pesticides) has been the leading measure that farmers use to prevent harmful insects, diseases and protect crops. In addition to the effectiveness for agriculture, plant protection drugs also have negative effects on the environment and humans. Many localities foun...
Toxicological effects of chemicals are mostly tested individually. However, consumers encounter exposure to complex mixtures, for example multiple pesticide residues, by consuming food such as crops, fruits or vegetables. Currently, more than 450 active substances are approved in the European Union, and...
The present study reports the synergistic antibacterial activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the aid of a combination of chitosan and seaweed-derived polyphenols as a green synthetic route. Under optimum synthesis conditions, the
Our study hence suggests that plant material contaminated with systemic pesticides can exert adverse effects in aquatic predators when preying on shredders consuming such leaves, which warrants a further consideration of this pathway.doi:10.1007/s00128-019-02696-wLima-Fernandes, Eva...
Over the past decade, abnormalities have been documented in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in west-central Montana. Hypotheses proposed to explain these anomalies included contact with endocrine disrupting pesticides, such as imidacloprid. We
We found that the diets had similar concentrations of total soluble protein; however, bees consumed and digested significantly more of the pollen diet than either PS alone or mixed with pollen. In colonies, honeybees consuming pollen had lower deformed wing virus (DWV) and Nosema titers than ...
Contaminated heavy metal is a key cause of pollution and a possible increasing environmental and human health hazard all over the world, resulting in disorders in people and animals by consuming polluted vegetables. Heavy metals have damaged soil and water eco-systems worldwide. Heavy metals have ...
Hummingbirds present life history traits that make them especially vulnerable to pesticide exposure and its deleterious effects. First, they can feed on thousands of flowers per day, potentially consuming large amounts of contaminated nectar and pollen. Furthermore, many species perform long migrations...
The intensification of agricultural production in the last century has resulted in a significant loss of biodiversity, environmental problems and associated societal costs. The use of shorter rotations or monocropping and high levels of mineral fertilisers, pesticides and crop growth regulators may also ...
