Impact of insecticides on the environment and environmentally acceptable remediation measures
ABSTRACT Insecticides (i.e. agents against ectoparasites) play a very important role in protecting humans, animals and plants from numerous insects or ectoparasites. Thank you to the use of these agents, various infectious diseases have been eradicated, the control and treatment of ectoparasitoses in humans and animals has been facilitated and agricultural production has been improved and increased. Although great success has been achieved in the fight against infectious diseases, there are unfortunately still certain regions of the world where some infectious diseases (malaria) claim a large number of lives. Insecticides have (as already mentioned) contributed significantly to the increase in agricultural production. As a result, one often hears the opinion today that agricultural production has become practically impossible without the use of pesticides. This has certainly influenced the fact that these products are now used on a massive scale all over the world. The facts just mentioned, that is, this kind of application of insecticides, which is often irrational, is causing increasing concern.
