Health & Environment

Long-term exposure to pesticides and herbicides, including chemicals like glyphosate, paraquat, chlorpyrifos, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids, has been associated with heightened risks of leukemia, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s cancer, neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, and endocrine disruption.

Inhaling pesticide sprays can contribute to chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and reactive airway dysfunction syndrome (RADS).

​

Chronic exposure to organophosphate pesticides may lead to nerve damage, cognitive decline, and an elevated risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.
 

Research also indicates that prolonged pesticide exposure can result in infertility, birth defects, and developmental delays in children. Pregnant women working in agriculture face a higher risk of miscarriage and complications due to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Ecologic Engineers offer sustainable, non-toxic alternatives to mitigate these risks and safeguard public health.

1. Adopt Proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment): Protect your health and safety by ensuring that all team members wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing. This minimizes the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals and ensures a safer work environment.
    

2. Invest in Proper Training & Safety Regulations:
   It's crucial that all applicators are licensed and trained in the specific application of pesticides. Adherence to safety regulations and pesticide-handling guidelines is essential to prevent accidents and ensure that all procedures are carried out responsibly and safely.
    

3. Embrace Sustainable Pest Management:
   Reduce reliance on harmful chemicals by integrating Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods. IPM focuses on using a combination of techniques such as biological control, cultural practices, and pest-resistant varieties to manage pest populations in an environmentally friendly way, all while maintaining the health and safety of your community and ecosystem.
