¿Qué les sucede a los pesticidas dentro del cuerpo?
Los pesticidas son moléculas complejas de hidrocarburos diseñadas para matar malezas, insectos y hongos. Los pesticidas pueden crear reacciones químicas que involucran división celular que eventualmente mutan en células cancerosas décadas después.

¿La posibilidad de cáncer no es un precio demasiado alto a pagar por un césped perfecto, un patio libre de mosquitos o vegetales baratos?

Biblioteca de información ambiental
Así que no es de sorprender que los pesticidas utilizados para matar insectos, hongos y malezas también dañen a las personas. Las enfermedades causadas por pesticidas pueden tener consecuencias devastadoras, incluyendo cáncer, alteración del sistema endocrino, daño neurológico, efectos en el intestino y el cerebro, disfunción reproductiva, discapacidades de aprendizaje, trastornos del comportamiento, enfermedad de Parkinson y más. De manera similar, los efectos devastadores de los pesticidas en la biodiversidad, desde los polinizadores hasta las especies en peligro de extinción, afectan la supervivencia a largo plazo de la vida en el planeta. Esto crea un DESAFÍO EXISTENCIAL y una necesidad extraordinariamente imperiosa de acción.
