Content: On the other hand, residual pesticides are way more dangerous for humans and animals and pose serious health risks. Industrial & Agricultural Wastes
Among several negative effects of agriculture on the environment, industrial & agricultural waste is the most dangerous and harmful for the ecosystem and humans. Agricultural remains of several crops like., rice straw and hull, because of improper handling act as agricultural waste. To remove this waste farmers usually practice burning methods which result in the production of high CO2 and CO levels in the air, causing severe respiratory problems in humans and animals. Agricultural waste needs to be recycled through the processing of by-products by enterprises such as fishing, poultry, dairy, etc., as well as plowing for maintaining organic matter. Use of mechanization in agriculture also results in several negative ecological impacts because for their effective application they also need several resources like electricity, diesel, gasoline, etc. which end up in smoke, loss, and high prices. Pollution from fertilizer industries is also contaminating the air and water which negatively impacts the ecological system of a country.
