Question

Some people believe that extinction or reduction in the population of a few birds should not stop us from using a pesticide. What is your reaction to such a view?

Answer 1

The use of pesticides is extremely harmful to the plants as well as the birds' species.

Biomagnification is the process by which the toxic substances increase in concentration as they go up in the food chain DDT is one such pesticide. The DDT used n the farming is run down to water sources an entre the fish body. As the successive food chains go on increasing the concentration fo DDT increase and thus it results in the death of birds due to toxicity.

pesticides should be completely banned because of such harmful effects.
