| Abstract:

In farming fields and diverse disease-carriers (e.g., mosquitoes, ticks, rats and mice) in households, workplaces,
malls and streets Pesticides are commonly used to combat weeds and insect infestations. As pesticide modes
of action are not species-specific, environmental threats related to toxicity have been posed by diverse paths
(e.g., residues in food and drinking water). Although the risk varies from short-term (e.g., skin-and-eye,
headaches, dizziness, and nausea), to persistent (e.g., cancer, asthma and diabetes), the risk is difficult to clarify
due to the presence of multiple factors (e.g., exposure duration, quantities, pesticide type (toxicity,
persistence) and environmental properties of the infected regions. There are not entirely untouched
populations in the human population while most illnesses are numerous factors that make the public health
evaluations considerably more complicated. It is desirable that the effects of pesticides should be minimized by
eco-friendly alternatives (e.g., Ecological SMART) and integrated pesticide management (IPM) techniques. In
this article, a systematic analysis of pesticides was discussed in relation to the forms, the application in the
environment, their health implications and potential alternatives.
