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.
