Pesticides - What are they, how do they harm our health and environment, and what are the alternatives? The term "pesticides" refers to substances designed to kill - "herbicides" kill weeds, "insecticides" kill insects, "fungicides" kill fungi, and so on. Just because they have been used for a long time, that doesn't mean that pesticides are safe. More and more, environmental and health experts agree that pesticides harm our health and we should stop using them. Fortunately, there are many easy ways to have a green lawns and gardens without pesticides.

Cooperative Extension MG Manual Home Pesticides PESTICIDES: PESTICIDES AND THE ENVIRONMENT MG Manual Reference Ch. 6, pp. 22 - 26 Direct Kill Fine mists of herbicides can drift to nearby crops or landscape plants and kill them. Bees and other pollinators can be killed if a crop is treated with a pesticide when they are in the field. The natural enemies of pest insects can also be killed by pesticides. Life in streams or ponds can be wiped out by accidental spraying of ditches and waterways, runoff from sprayed fields, and careless container disposal. If more than one pesticide will control the pest, choose the one that is the least hazardous to the environment and most useful for the situation. To protect beneficial insects, avoid excessive use of insecticides - spray only when crop and pest populations require. Protecting Insect Pollinators Gardeners should give special consideration to protecting insect pollinators, such as the honey bee, from insecticide poisoning. Insecticides highly toxic to bees have restricted application times when being applied to crops frequented by honey bees. Bees are not active in late evening and early morning. Do not apply insecticides when temperatures are unusually low because residues will remain toxic much longer.

Pesticides and the Environment Introduction Advancements in Roach Control Technology Advancements in Herbicide and Pesticide Technology Introduction Over the last ten or fifteen years, questions have been raised as to whether or not pesticides are safe for our environment and the inhabitants of this planet. Studies have been done in order to find the chemicals with toxic side-effects as well as those that are both safe and effective. Here, the question of safety of pesticides to people and the places where they live will be explored. When the uneducated part of the population accuses large corporations of poisoning our environment with various chemicals, it should first be known that last year alone, the people of the United States spent $240 million on roach control products. These pesticide manufacturers and bio-technical corporations are not the unmitigated bandits they are made out to be. In fact, over the past couple of years, the development of effective and environmentally sound pest control technology has been pioneered by these "Manufacturers of Malice". Advancements in Roach Control Technology The exploration of the consequences of pesticides is a very broad topic and, therefore, warrants an example. If there is one insect that epitomizes America's pest problem, it would have to be the cockroach. These disgusting creatures are both unpleasant to look at and dangerous to have in the home because of the diseases they carry. Scientists have developed newer and safer methods for dealing with cockroaches in the home.

Headlines Measuring Pesticides and How They Transform in the Environment New and innovative pesticides are being developed and are applied in the environment every year. In many cases, methods to assess the fate of these new pesticides and their degradates in the environment are not available. The Toxic Substances Hydrology (Toxics) Program develops methods to measure a variety of pesticides and their degradates, and assesses their environmental transport. Degradates are the product of environmental transformation of the parent pesticide and can have similar properties. (More information on the significance of degradates in streams and ground water is available.) The methods are effective at low but environmentally significant levels, enabling determination of the potential for, and circumstances of, harmful effects. This information is used for pesticide registration, resource management, and manufacturing decisions. For example: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed two new water-quality analytical methods for the determination of chloroacetanilide herbicide degradates in water. These methods use solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography – diode array detection (HPAA) and high performance liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LCAA). Both methods measure the concentration of 10 acetanilides herbicide degradates in samples of filtered water. The reporting limits for the HPAA method are 0.2 micrograms per liter (ug/L), while reporting limits for the LCAA method are 0.05 ug/L.
