Farm waste is mixture of animals faeces and urine,plus milk and chemicals such as pesticides.
A large quantity of animals waste is generated by concentrated animals feeding operation and disposal of the waste has been a major problem.
Chemicals used on farm as pesticides,fungicides or fertilizer are found in waterways.Common farm chemicals are aluminum phosphide,cresol,methyl bromide, etc.
These chemicals are spryed or aerial spray from light plans.Chemicals spray drift cannot always be contained and might still occur despite correct application.These chemicals sprays often drift over neighbouring,properties of waterways and this can affect human health,animals and the environment....

After second half of twentieth century agricultural practices went through massive changes, particularly in mechanisation, the use of chemicals and large-scale intensive farming.
As a result of increasing the density of domestic farm animals, reported farm pollution incidents have remained high and farm waste remains a major problem. In some countries about half of all serious water pollution incidents are from manure runoff from farms.
Poultry, cows and pigs are the farm animals most responsible for the pollution. Livestock production occupies 70% of all land used for agriculture and 30% of the planet’s land surface. It is responsible for 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalents.It also generates 64% of the ammonia, which contributes to acid rain and acidification of ecosystems.
Which is adversely affecting human directly or indirectly.
Farm waste is a mixture of animal faeces and urine, plus milk and chemicals such as pesticides.
Animal waste is found in soil, surface water, groundwater and sea water.
Increased use of agrochemicals, farm machinery and irrigation in recent years has made the pollution problem worse.
Chemicals used on farms as pesticides, fungicides or fertilisers are found in waterways. Which mostly contain aluminium phosphide, cresol, organophosphorus pesticides, pyrethroids, methyl bromide etc.
These chemical sprays often drift over neighbouring properties or waterways and can affect human health, animals and the environment.
Factory farmed animals are given antibiotics in their food to prevent infection in their overcrowded conditions. Animal waste contains substantial amounts of bacteria, and because only about a quarter of the antibiotic is digested by an animal, the waste may also contain antibiotics. This combination is a perfect opportunity for the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which may pass to humans when water or soil is contaminated with the bacteria from farm waste. Vegetables and fruit can also become contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria if animal waste that contains the bacteria is spread onto agricultural fields of fruit or vegetables.
