EFFECT OF PESTICIDES ON EQUATIC LIFE
Slide 2-

INTRODUCTION “Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Pesticides are used in public health to kill vectors of disease, such as mosquitoes, and in agriculture, to kill pests that damage crops.’’ Types of Pesticides Insecticides - insects. Herbicides - plants. Rodenticides - rodents (rats and mice) Bactericides - bacteria. Fungicides - fungi. Larvicides – larvae http://www.who.int
Slide 3-

APPLICATIONS OF PESTICIDES Agricultural applications Household applications Fish Form Applications Most pesticides used in Pakistan are insecticides (74%), followed by herbicides (14%), fungicides (9%), and fumigants (1%). www.pu.pk
Slide 4-

To control insect To eradicate weeds To improve crop yield The four main types of agricultural insecticides used today are pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates and biological insecticides. Agricultural Applications www.pri.org
Slide 5-

Household applications To kill insects Ants Cockroches crickets earwigs Sowbugs The most frequently used active ingredients are pyrethrins , propoxur and dichlorvos. https://academic.oup.com
Slide 6-

Applications in fish Farming To kill sea lice To eradicate sea weeds As a Antifoulant to kill plants and animals Mostly hydogen peroxide, dichlorvos, Azamethiphos, Cypermethrin and Teflubenzuron are used for this purpose. www.ukmarinesac.org

Pathways of pesticide movement Runoff Chemical degradation Volatilize (gas vapor) Leaching and breakdown in soil Leaching and degradation by microbes Photo degradation (sun)

Surface runoff Pesticides move in water over soil into surface water Contaminated ditches, streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes
Slide 10-

Leaching Move horizonatlly to nearby roots or vertically toward groundwater Movement of pesticide by water through soil Chemical characteristics that pose concern: high solubility, low adsorption, persistence

Exposure of pesticide to equatic lifeDepends upon: Biological Availability (Bioavailablility) Bioconcentration Biomagnification Persistence In The Environment www.intechopen.com.
Slide 13-

Primary ways of pesticides exposure Dermally, direct absorption through the skin by swimming in pesticide-contaminated waters, Breathing, by direct uptake of pesticides through the gills during respiration, and Orally, by drinking pesticide-contaminated water or feeding on pesticide-contaminated prey. www.intechopen.com.

Slide 15-

Measures to minimize pesticides effect Reduction in use of pesticides (by up to 50% in some countries). Bans on certain active ingredients. Revised pesticide registration criteria. Training and licensing of individuals that apply pesticides. Reduction of dose and improved scheduling of pesticide application to more effectively meet crop needs and to reduce preventative spraying. Testing and approval of spraying apparatus. Limitations on aerial spraying. Environmental tax on pesticides. Promote the use of mechanical and biological alternatives to pesticides.
