Question

Answer the following question in your own words.

Which precautions will you take during spraying of pesticides?

Answer 1

1. Pesticides are hazardous substances. The indiscriminate use of these substances contaminates water, soil, and crops.
2. D.D.T., chloropyriphos, and malathion are highly hazardous. They propagate across the food chain, resulting in biomagnification.
3. Therefore, we will refrain from utilising such insecticides and pesticides. We will utilise organic pesticides. Overuse will be mitigated.
4. At the time of spraying, the nose, eyes and skin will be covered and protected.
5. Precautions will be implemented to prevent children and domestic animals from coming into contact with a pesticide.
