Toxicity, reproduction and fetal abnormalities: herbicides and fungicides
Among pesticides, herbicides and fungicides have found extensive use in the control of plant diseases and the eradication of unwanted plants. In fact, these chemicals have significantly reduced the strong competition of weeds with important and essential food crops. Along with improved crop varieties, both herbicides and fungicides have increased crop yields, decreased food costs and enhanced the appearance of food. Without proper controls, however, the residues of these chemicals that remain on foods can create potential health risks. This article provides a brief introduction and an overview about adverse effects on reproduction and fetal abnormalities that may result from herbicide and fungicide poisonings.
