Pesticides are
known as the chemicals for human needs in various fields. They are generally
used for agricultural activities in research and application areas. These
agricultural chemicals are grouped as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides
etc. Apart from that areas they are used in cosmetic, shampoo as cleaning
products, cellulose production in construction sector, industrial activities
and individual home uses as disinfection. Even if their usage is for meeting
the human needs, these chemicals can cause environmental pollution and health
poisoning such as acute and chronic toxicity on human. EU has focused on its
toxicity and non-biodegradable effect in their regulations and so on Turkey
make researches about these chemicals to adapt EU directives. Nowadays, it
needs to be researched in detail due to widespread usage in agricultural areas,
especially in Turkey. In our country, according to National Poison Center rate
of human pesticide acute poisoning in these areas is given as 8.34 %. Its acute toxicity effects on receptors,
human and non-target species, are the main concerns to be assessed as a risk.
According to their chemical contents such as organophosphorus and
organochlorine pesticides, their toxic effects will cause many health problems
on human like neurotoxic, cardiovascular, endocrine disruption, allergic
reactions via the ways of air, soil, water and foods with different dose in
varying periods. Many researches declare that the concentration of pesticides
in receptors should be investigated and determined in transparent to restrain
its expected adverse effects with indicative parameters for acute toxicity.
