The continued use of agrochemicals to combat agricultural pests and disease vectors endangers both human health and the environment. Due to a lack of awareness, training, and proper information for utilizing agrochemicals in developing countries like INDIA, it is extremely difficult to determine the influence on human health or the environment. Agrochemical exposure times and levels, the types of agrochemicals employed (in terms of toxicity and persistence), and the diverse environmental conditions in the areas are all variables in acute and chronic poisoning of human health and the environment. Due to insufficient regulatory and preventative systems, pesticide users and consumers in Bangladesh are prone to agrochemical-related health concerns. Cancer, neurological illnesses, birth abnormalities, reproductive and developmental malformations, mutagen city, and other health-related problems, as well as environmental hazards, have all been linked to pesticide exposure, according to this research.

3. •Chemicals used in agriculture to enhance plant life development
and safety are referred to as Agro Chemicals.
•Agrochemicals were developed to preserve crops, but they have
already begun to have a wide range of negative effects on the
environment and human health.

6. 1) Effect on soil :
May kill beneficial bacteria by
increasing nitrate level in
soils.
They alter the PH of the soil by
excess using chemicals which
kill soil microorganism.
Increasing toxicity which
reduces soil quality.
2) Effect on water :
Agrochemicals affect aquatic
animals (fishes).
They can promote algae.
Excessive use of agrochemicals
may contaminate ground
Water.

7. 3) Effect on air :
These agrochemicals'
residue and particles
pollute the air.
Because of the low
relative humidity and
greater temperature,
more spray
evaporation may
occur..

8. HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD
Organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids,
ethylene-bisdithio-carbamates, and
chlorophenoxy herbicides are among the most
often used pesticides. Neurotoxic pesticides
can produce developmental neurotoxicity at
significantly lower exposure levels, according to
experimental, clinical, and epidemiologic
findings. Memory loss, lack of coordination, and
a slower response time to stimuli are all
neurological health impacts. Fatigue,
headaches and body pains, skin discomfort,
skin rashes, poor concentration, sensations of
weakness, circulatory issues, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, excessive perspiration,
impaired eyesight, tremors, panic attacks,
cramps, and other symptoms of chemical
poisoning in humans are common..

10. IPM: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a cost-effective and
ecologically friendly pest-control strategy that employs a variety
of common-sense techniques.
Organic farming : It is an agricultural strategy that emphasizes
crop rotation and companion planting while utilizing organic
fertilizers such as compost manure, green manure, and bone
meal..
Safe handling of agrochemicals on the farm:
Farmers need to be educated on how to use dangerous
chemicals safely..
Use of less hazardous pesticides: The most
apparent strategy to lessen the harmful side
effects of pesticides is to replace extremely
dangerous pesticides with less hazardous
pesticides..

11. SOCIAL AWARNESS ON AGROCHEMICALS
I go to a few communities and speak
with a few farmers. I sought to raise
awareness about the dangers of
excessive pesticide residue usage.
Farmers in our region do not follow
specified criteria owing to a lack of
understanding about pesticide toxicity. I
attempted to educate farmers on the
'IPM' rules. I sought to educate people
about the dangers of pesticides and
how to preserve our environment and
health from these toxins. They assured
us after we guided them that they
would always follow our rules and
attempt to follow all of them. I also
attempt to impart some organic
agricultural expertise to them. They
agreed and promised that they would
attempt to start organic farming with
me..
