The first chemical to be discussed is Agent Orange; Agent Orange has been identified as a human carcinogen; this chemical was introduced during the Vietnam War as a defoliant for the thick Vietnamese jungle. Although Agent Orange contained a variety of herbicides, most of the pesticide contained Phenoxyacetic acid – based herbicide 2,4-D and 2,4, 5-T. The most common mixture

Estimated that over 70,000 chemicals are used in industrial compounds, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and other purposes. That total
The Everglades used to be a very beautiful tourist attraction, but have been largely affected by the existence of pesticides. However, the majority of pesticides is not specifically targeting the pest only but they also affect non-target plants and animals during their application. The Effect of pesticide runoffs on the Everglades is destroying one Florida’s major tourist attractions due to the cultivation of sugar cane just to mention one of those responsible and creates a loss of natural habitat, water pollution, and threatens existence of wildlife. Many pesticides are not easily degradable; they persist in soil, leach to groundwater and surface water and contaminate wide environment.
Neonicotinoids are most commonly used insecticide in the U.S. They are also an insecticide that kills bees. The insecticides are applied to seeds before they are planted. They stay with the the plant as they grow.
The points of interest that made me choose this particular item are common interaction among general public, and what I would perceive as a very trying response and ensuing recovery effort that would take place should a large scale fire and/or spill take place. In a best case scenario, the chemical could be readily identified allowing for a proper response by emergency responders, with proper precautionary gear to protect themselves as well, and the evacuation of the surrounding area. However, it appears that acts of terrorism are becoming better planned, rather than random, less detrimental incidents as past history such as shoe bombers and such. Utilizing such a chemical in a discreet manner, rendering identification difficult if not impossible, would provide rather substantial physical effects with all the reactive, flammable, health, and incompatible issues that are identified with acrylonitrile alone, much more so even when shipped with possible interactive components, and then the actual desired traumatic emotional effects associated with acts of terror as well.
The use of pesticides is an important decision that thousands of communities face each year. Nobody likes dealing with mosquitos and the diseases they bring so using chemicals and pesticides is an option but with other consequences. Mosquitos carry West Nile Virus that affects the city of Genericville every year with 50 cases projected this year in the city and two fatalities as well. On the other hand, the chemicals proposed for controlling the mosquito population has its own risks. The pesticide Malathion is also dangerous to people if they come in contact with it before it degrades. The potential for citizens of the city being exposed is almost a certainty

Recently, the use of lawn pesticides and chemicals has grown enormously with home owners and golf course management in hope of attaining "the perfect turf." However, the negative effects that are associated with attaining ones "dream turf" is primarily caused by the direct use of pesticides and chemicals. The chemical pesticide industry fails to address these issues and has made every effort to keep this information from the public.
In order for a pesticide to be approved for use it needs to pass a few tests. The government examines the ingredients to ensure they are within safe boundaries, they also examine which crops and where it would be applied, how much you need to use for it to be effective and how often it needs to be used and also how it must be stored and how it can be disposed of (United states environmental protection agency 2016). With all of these regulations in place, it is extremely rare if not impossible for an unsafe products to pass through
Farmer: I use Ethephon, which I have heard can be found in a variety of commercial herbicides.
In 17 chapters, many of which can stand alone as essays, Carson develops a deceptively simple premise: the use and overuse of synthetic chemicals to control insect pests introduces these chemicals into the air, water, and soil and into the food chain where they poison animals and humans, and disrupt the many intricate
Following the industrial revolution, societies across the world began to notice strange effects on individuals throughout certain local communities. Though toxicology was a relatively new and rudimentary practice at the time, scientists were able to trace these effects back to chemicals being exposed to industrial workers, their families, and nearby neighborhoods. Unfortunately, industry in the United States continued to expand with little regard for the effects on human health. As a result from this expansion the amount of chemicals released into the atmosphere skyrocketed continuously all the way to present day society. However, as industry expanded so did scientific technology, the understanding of chemicals, their exposure
be some time before there is a final decision on the chemical, chlorpyrifos (Rabin). Contrary to their arguments, health, civil rights and health representatives are tired of companies like Dow Chemical fighting the chemical regulations and using their power to set the standards for the agricultural industry, so the group is actively seeking officials to support the ban on chlorpyrifos (“Senators seek ban”). Interestingly, in 2015 the EPA thought that chlorpyrifos did not constitute an acceptable risk to human health (Philpott). However, they delayed their decision on the chemical because of the 2016 election. “Dow Chemical alone spent more than $13 million
