Keywords: pesticides, pests, Environmental impact, Chronic diseases, human health
A pest is every living thing, that has a detrimental effect on people or their interests. They can transmit diseases, harm crops, and interfere with daily activities. Pests like rats and insects are often found in human environments. Pesticides are biological or chemical substances designed to resist, attract, control, or prevent any biological entity that is deemed a pest. Pesticides have various advantages but are also associated with several environmental and public health challenges. The review thoroughly analyzes the body of research on pesticide usage, including its categorization, historical background, impacts on human health as well as how they affect surroundings and also capture the resistance development. Understanding the link between pesticide usage and chronic diseases including Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurological problems is necessary to develop practical strategies for reducing these chronic diseases. The review examines the correlation between exposure to pesticides and chronic diseases and management exposure reduction techniques which include integrated pest management, sustainable agriculture, stringent pesticide regulation, public awareness campaigns, and the right use of personal protective are techniques discussed. Implementing these techniques would drastically mitigate the adverse effects of chronic diseases among people while ensuring the use of pesticides.
