Toxicological Effects of Pesticides in Indian Aquatic Environmental Health
Shailendra Kumar, Lavkush*, Kailas Rathod, Parul and Tamanna Halder
Abstract
Pesticides' toxicological effects on aquatic biota, particularly fish, are a major cause for alarm when it comes to the state of India's aquatic ecosystem. Agricultural practices can release pesticides and their residues into aquatic habitats, where they can impact aquatic biota at low concentrations. To name just a few of the many negative impacts that long-term exposure to organic pesticides in waterways can have on fish health, these include death, infertility, weak immune systems, and thinning eggshells. The aquatic environment in India is affected by the toxicological effects, which affect the fish immediately and then ripple through the entire aquatic food chain. Ultimately, this undermines the ecosystem's health and balance. It is critical to employ effective strategies for pesticide management, such as monitoring pesticide levels in aquatic environments, using alternative pest control methods, and ensuring proper application techniques, in order to lessen the detrimental effects that pesticides have on the aquatic habitats in India. As a result, aquatic ecosystems can remain healthy and balanced, aquatic resources can be enjoyed and consumed by humans without risk, and aquatic biota can be protected.
