Pesticides

Pesticides are used to kill or prevent pests, such as insects, rodents, weeds, and fungi. Many pesticides can also pose risks to people; however, in many cases the amount of pesticide people are likely to be exposed to is too small to pose a risk. The health effects of pesticides depend on the type of pesticide. Some may affect the nervous system. Others may irritate the skin or eyes. Some pesticides may cause cancer.
