Pesticide Dangers Overview

Pesticides are toxic chemicals generally used to repel or kill unwanted microorganisms, rodents, weeds, insects, bacteria and algae. Designed to attack nerve impulses and enzymes that control cardiac and central nervous functions, the chemical composition of pesticides varies by product and intended target.

Types of Pesticides

Pesticides are used often in environmental applications to control weeds or kill destructive insects that attack yards and crop fields. However, these chemicals are also generally used in households and everyday products such as mosquito repellant, kitchen and bathroom disinfectants, rat poison, mold and mildew cleaners and cockroach and ant sprays and traps.

Side Effects of Pesticides

Acute exposure to certain pesticides can cause headaches, rashes and asthma-like conditions. Prolonged exposure can harm the nervous and immune systems and cause a broad range of symptoms including headache, fatigue, dizziness, tension, anger, depression, and impaired memory. Nationwide and New York pesticide exposure has also been linked to Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's disease as well as certain types of cancer such as leukemia, prostate cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
