Pesticides are chemicals used to protect crops from diseases and pests. They help in crop preservation and yield enhancement.

The ozone layer is a layer in the Earth’s stratosphere composed of ozone (O3), a molecule formed by three atoms of oxygen. It is located in the higher levels of the atmosphere.

It’s important to monitor and regulate pesticide use to minimize environmental contamination, prevent excessive accumulation in the food chain, and protect both ecosystem health and human health.

Pesticides can have various impacts on human health, including potential toxicity and long-term health effects due to their accumulation in the body.

Pesticides residues in food items cannot always be removed completely by washing or other methods, leading to their presence in our diet.

Higher levels of these chemicals are found in human beings because we occupy the top level in food chains, leading to the accumulation of the maximum concentration of these substances in our bodies.

Pesticides enter the food chain when they are washed into the soil or water bodies. Plants absorb them along with water and minerals, and they are then taken up by aquatic organisms, entering the ecosystem’s food chain.

Energy availability decreases at higher trophic levels because of the energy loss at each step, with only about 10% of the energy being transferred to the next level.

As energy moves through the various trophic levels, it diminishes progressively. This is due to the loss of energy at each level, mainly as heat.
