The disadvantages to widespread pesticide use are

significant. They include domestic animal contaminations

and deaths, loss of natural antagonists to pests, pesticide

resistance, Honeybee and pollination decline, losses to

adjacent crops, fishery and bird losses, and contamination

of groundwater. The fertility of soil is affected by the

death or damage to microorganisms caused by

pesticides. Further, some pesticides induce

immunotoxicity in humans which may lead to

immunosuppression, hypersensitivity (allergies),

autoimmune diseases, and inflammation; children may

be especially susceptible to the adverse effects of being

exposed to pesticides. People who work regularly with

pesticides, such as farmers, are at greater risk of cancer.

Thousands of non-lethal poisonings and cancer cases

each year are attributable to pesticides.
