Nowadays many kinds of insecticides and pesticides are made in order to prevent a huge loss of agriculture production for example. Insecticides are used against the insects in agriculture, medicine and industry. On the other hand, the pesticides are chemicals used to protect the plants and destroy any pests.
Humans every day produce more synthetic chemicals that can enter into our bodies. Enzymes are the proteins that are doing all the functions needed in our body, but some of the insecticides have the ability to destroy our enzymes. By using the typical house cleaners and sprays we put ourselves in danger. Many deaths were caused by this chemicals. Even if everybody knows the danger of these chemicals, every year there are new ones made by humans that can harm and destroy not only human bodies, but also animals, birds and plants. By living in an environment full of chemicals and pollution, the human body absorbs them without realizing it, the new born baby receives the toxic chemicals from his mother. It is like a cycle which started many decades ago and impossible to stop taking into consideration the fact that those toxic chemicals are to be found everywhere.
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is one insecticide which toxic for human beings, birds, animals and plants. Birds are the one who are the most in danger. Many species died after entering into contact with this toxic.
Several other chemicals are used widely, thousands of deaths are registered per year and we still use them in our daily life.
The desire to kill the unwanted pests, insects in agriculture and industry made us to invent new chemicals which at the end of the line are killing us and the entire ecosystem.
Is it hard to come up with a new idea concerning this and to think about other solutions when everything seems to work. Indeed, we just take in consideration the fact that those chemicals kill the unwanted plants, but we do not pay attention to other harms produced by them.
