Long term affects of pesticide posionings
Pesticides contain many toxic chemicals that affect farmers for many years. Farm workers are impacted greatly and though they get treatment once they are exposed they have to deal with other health issues even years after the incident. [1]There are about 385 million cases of pesticide exposure a year, and about 11,000 people die of accidental exposure.[2] The long term effects of pesticide exposure are birth defects, miscarriages, infertility in both men and women, neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and dementia-like diseases[3][4][5]. And another long-term effect is different types of cancers such as lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, and kidney cancer. Farmers and everyone in surrounding areas of pesticide poisoning are exposed and at risk of all the long term effects. [6]
