Pesticide Circulation

Circulation of pesticides

Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to control pests and weeds. However, their use carries risks of environmental pollution. After being applied to the soil or sprayed on plants, pesticides enter the air, water and soil, spreading to surrounding areas. This process is called pesticide cycling.

The circulation of pesticides is a set of processes of their distribution from places of application and accumulation in the environment, as well as movement by individual environmental factors.

The main routes of circulation of pesticides:

1. Evaporation from treated surfaces and subsequent dispersion with air currents.

2. Pesticides are washed off leaves by rain and washed into the soil.

3. Leaching from the soil by ground and surface waters.

4. Distribution through food chains through consumption of plants and animals.

5. Wind transport as dust from treated fields.

As a result of circulation, pesticide residues accumulate in the soil, water bodies, and atmosphere. This leads to long-term environmental pollution and negatively affects the health of people and animals. Therefore, when using pesticides, it is important to comply with regulations and prevent their uncontrolled spread.

Pesticide circulation is a set of processes of distribution of pesticides from the place of application and their accumulation in the environment. It also involves the movement of pesticides by various environmental factors such as wind, water, animals and plants.

The circulation of pesticides can have negative consequences for human health and the environment. For example, pesticides can accumulate in soil, water and air, which can lead to poisoning of animals and people. In addition, some pesticides can be toxic to aquatic organisms, which can negatively affect the ecosystem of water bodies.

To prevent the negative consequences of the circulation of pesticides, it is necessary to take measures to reduce their emissions into the environment. This can be achieved through the use of safer pesticides, proper waste disposal, and control of pesticide use in agriculture.

In addition, it is necessary to monitor the circulation of pesticides in the environment and assess its impact on human and animal health. This will help develop more effective measures to prevent negative consequences and improve the environmental situation in the region.
