Toxicologist explains how pesticides and zoocides are dangerous for humans
Pesticides and zoocides are widely used to control harmful insects and small animals.
However, these chemicals pose a serious threat to humans.
This was stated in a conversation with TASS by the director of the Institute of Pharmacy and Medical Chemistry of the N. I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health regarding toxic substances, Vadim Negrebetsky.
He spoke about the risks associated with using these drugs.
Pesticides contain strong poisons that can harm human health.
Failure to follow safety rules when using them can lead to tragic consequences.
Negrebetsky noted that long-term exposure to pesticides in the body can cause delayed toxic effects.
He also reminded that zoocides can have a very low lethal dose.
Even small amounts of these substances can be deadly to humans.
Negrebetsky emphasized that zoocides are more dangerous than pesticides due to their high toxicity.
