TOPIC 7: Pesticides: Good or bad?

For hundreds of thousands of people, living in the countryside holds the promise of healthy, pollution free living, but is it the opposite? There have been reports about the health of people living in the country side.Kay Wadey and her children live at Kirtling, near Newmarket.Their home is surrounded by fields. It may look like a rural paradise but they say their health and home is being damaged by the curse of crop spraying. she claims that her child's health were caused by the crop spraying too.the government intends to make spray record keeping by farmers legally enforceable and it is to look at making those records available to the public through a third party. Some 25,000 tonnes of pesticides are used on UK fields every year.
conclusion: pesticides maybe have little effect on us when we eat fruits and vegetables containing low levels of pesticides but there is evidence that the effects of sprayed pesticides cause harm to the environment n people living near the sprayed areas. Therefore i say pesticides are bad when environmental health is concern.
