Ecotoxicology is the study of the effects of toxic chemicals on biological organisms, especially at the population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels.
Ecotoxicology is the science devoted to the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on ecosystems structure, functions, and biodiversity. It is a modern discipline, just developed during the last four decades, directly associated to the need to identify, predict, control, and minimize the negative environmental consequences of the recent human industrial development. Ecotoxicology has always been connected to toxicology, and is in part an extension of human/veterinary toxicology to the investigation of effects on wildlife. In parallel, it also linked ecotoxicology to ecology, from both conceptual and methodological viewpoints.
Dr. Walter Crinnion, one of the leading experts on environmental medicine and toxicology, shares his observations on the toxic burden we bear in modern society.
Any substance or mixture of substances, intended for preventing, destroying, or
mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant growth regulator, defoliant or
desiccant.

ppt of fate of pesticides in environment or environmental polution by pesticidesSundaresh Kalal
Nature is blessed with wide range of organisms where it perfectly balances the food chain and the ecosystem. Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. putida and some fungi antagonists are important biocontrol agents used against plant pathogenic bacteria which are known to produce special structures known as siderophores. Siderophores are defined as relatively low molecular weight, ferric ion specific chelating agents elaborated by bacteria and fungi growing under low iron stress (Neilands, 1981). The role of these compounds is to scavenge iron from the environment and to make the mineral. There are three main kinds of Siderophores known as hydroxamate, catecholate and carboxylate. Most organisms require iron as an essential element in a variety of metabolic and informational cellular pathways. In the aerobic environment iron exists mainly as Fe (III) and tends to form insoluble hydroxides and oxyhydroxides, making it largely unavailable to microorganisms. Therefore, they need mechanisms to solubilize Fe (III) to make it available for uptake; these mechanisms usually involve the production of siderophores.
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy.
The principal objective of a pest control is to protect crops by maintaining the attack of the pests and diseases at an acceptable level.
There are various methods of pest control
they are basically non chemical methods and chemical methods
What are the Advantages & disadvantages of Natural PesticidesShivaniPadole
A Natural pesticide is a substance that disrupts or kills organisms that we consider to be pests such as weeds, damaging insects, or microbes that cause disease. Pesticides that are made by other organisms, usually for their own defense or that comes from a natural source like a mineral or a plant are called natural pesticides. Although this is generally true, not all natural pesticides are always safer or better for the environment than man-made pesticides. Nicotine, for instance, is the highly addictive component of cigarette smoke and a natural pesticide found in tobacco leaves, but it is actually much more toxic than the majority of modern synthetic pesticides.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. What is Pesticides?
• If it has the suffix –cide in it, then you know it's about killing
something. Pesticides are designed to kill
insects, fungus, bacteria and other things that feed on
crops, are vectors for disease, nuisances, and things that
destroy property. Farming is big business. And some of the
farming companies are bottom–line entities in business to
make money at any cost. Pesticides and genetically modified
organisms are how they insure that they will get the crop yield
they demand every season, no matter how it hurts the
environment or the consumers.
• Two types of pesticides are biological and chemical. Biological
pesticides can be developed using fungi, bacteria and other
organically present substances. Some biological pesticides are
microorganisms that, without any manipulation, demonstrate
natural effectiveness in targeted pest control. These generally
aren't toxic to humans or animals and don't leave a persistent
residue.
3. What is Pesticides?
• The greatest risk to our environment and our health comes
from the chemical pesticides. In spite of the dangers, the
government maintains its approval of the use of toxic chemicals
to make pesticides. And science is constantly developing
variations of poisons.
• Two classes are broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum
pesticides. Broad-spectrum pesticides kill many kinds of
pests, while narrow-spectrum pesticides do just the opposite.
Narrow-spectrum pesticides are developed to kill specific
organism types. Examples are algicides for algai, avicides for
birds, fungicides for fungi and oomycetes (also called water
molds, they use surface water including preciptiation on
plants, to move around). Most pesticides kill pests directly on
contact. Systemic pesticides work differently. They penetrate to
the inside of a plant traveling along its absorption path.
• These poisons work by poisoning the pollen and nectar of
flowers and this can kill needed pollinators like butterflies and
bees.
4. Shocking Facts
• Pesticides are a major threat to bees. The systemic poisoning
of flowers has killed scores of bees.
• We're simply losing too many of them. The bees and
butterflies among others are pollinators and they represent a
natural tour de force in perpetuating plant cycles and
evolution.
• You see, they do cross pollination naturally. More than 25% of
the bee colonies died in winter 2006/07. That translates to a
loss of tens of billions of bees.
• And it's estimated that this loss will negatively impact the
agricultural economy to the tune of $8 to $12 billion.
5. Who's at Risk for Exposure to Pesticides?
• Farmers and their families and other persons who use
chemical pesticides regularly are at greatest risk for
achieving toxic levels in their bodies. The danger is
spread out to larger areas, as the pesticides:
– Are carried on the wind
– Leave residues on produce
– Remain inside produce and animals
– Run off into open water, contaminating public water supply as well
as fish and other seafood
• Anyone who uses pesticides or is present when
pesticides are sprayed is at risk for dangerous exposure.
The pesticides can enter the body through
skin, eyes, mouth and nose.
6. What are the Dangers from Pesticides Exposure?
• Pesticides can be toxic to humans and lower animals. It can take a
small amount of some toxins to kill. And other toxins that are
slower acting, may take a long time to cause harm to the human
body.
• Pesticide production can be dangerous, too. One disaster at a
pesticide manufacturing plant was in Bhopal, India. The plant
accidentally released 40 tons of an intermediate chemical gas,
methyl isocyanate, used to produce some pesticides. In that
disaster, nearly 3,000 people were killed immediately, overall
approximately 15,000 deaths occurred. Today nearly 100,000
people suffer from mild to severe permanent damage as a result of
that disaster.¹
• In China, it's estimated that 500,000 people suffer pesticide
poisoning annually, and some 500 of them die.²
• Children seem to be greatly susceptible to the toxic effects of
pesticides. The Natural Resource Defense Council has collected
data which recorded higher incidence of childhood leukemia, brain
cancer and birth defects. These results correlated with early
exposure to pesticides.³
7. Doctor Group's Comment:
“Neurotoxins are any substances that can cause disruption to the
neurological system including the brain. Many neurotoxins are
organophosphates, and several are currently approved and being
used to make pesticides.
8. What are the Dangers from Pesticides Exposure?
• Even just using pesticides in amounts within regulation, studies
have revealed neurotoxins can do serious damage during
development. Researchers report the dangers of pesticides can
start as early as fetal stages of life. The Pesticides entry at
Wikipedia.org lists some of the results that have been recorded in
recent years including:
• Fetuses, (pre-birth babies), may suffer from exposure and exhibit
behavioral problems, growth issues
• Lower cognitive scores, fewer nerve cells and lower birth weight
• A lower resistance to the toxic effects of pesticides
• A greater risk (70% increase), for Parkinson's disease, even with
low levels of pesticides
• Can you believe the government approved the use of some
organophosphates despite the occurrence of illnesses? It makes
you wonder just who the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is working to protect.
9. What are the Dangers from Pesticides Exposure?
• What you also need to understand is that toxins from pesticides
can remain in the body and build up in the liver. And, even at
"safe" levels your reactions can be mild to severe. High levels of
exposure can be fatal.
• How do you know if you're going to be ill? You don't; you just have
to hope for the best.
• How will you be affected? Well, you don't really know how you
body will react to the toxins until it happens. Several factors
determine how your body will react including your level of
exposure, the type of chemical you ingest, and your individual
resistance to the chemicals. Some people are unaffected or are
mildly affected, while others become severely ill from similar levels
of exposure.
10. What are the Dangers from Pesticides Exposure?
• Some possible reactions are:
– Fatigue
– Fatigue
– Skin Irritations
– Nausea
– Vomiting
– Breathing Problems
– Brain Disorders
– Blood Disorders
– Liver & Kidney Damage
– Reproductive Damage
– Cancer
– Death
