Effects of Pesticide Residues in Animal By-products Relating to Public Health
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Pesticides are used on a large scale and have become unavoidable in the modern agricultural economy. Tones of them are used on a daily basis for a variety of functions, which are mostly used for agricultural activities. So, what exactly is a pesticide? A pesticide is a chemical substance used to keep undesired plants, animals, and microorganisms from harming humans, animals, and plants. It is a compound or mixture of chemicals designed to repel pests chemically and physically. Pesticides include herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, bactericides, rodenticides, and many others. Using these chemical compounds aids in the battle against pests, allowing us to improve our plants and animals and ensure the safety of the food production process for all people on the globe. However, studies show that abuse and excessive use of pesticides may have serious consequences for human health and the overall ecosystem. Pesticides are used in crops to manage pests, and they leave residues in animal feed. Consequently, as a result of the transportation of agricultural goods and animal products, pesticide misuse can extend hundreds of kilometers beyond the geographical region of usage. The use of pesticides for pest mitigation has become a common practice all around the world. The increase in pesticide use in agriculture has paralleled the increase in the quality and quantity of food products over the years. This article reviews the current evidence on the management of acute pesticide poisoning. Acute poisoning with pesticides is a global public health problem and accounts for as many as 300,000 deaths worldwide every year. Pesticides can impact human health directly through direct exposure to different types of pesticides or indirectly through the use of agricultural products (plants and animal products). The pesticide residues have also been detected in almost all animal products, such as meat, milk, dairy products, and eggs. The aims of this article are to highlight the possibility of pesticide deposition in various animal products and the acceptable range of some common pesticides according to reliable standards.Â
