* Case study based questions:
Answer the questions on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph
and the related studied concept.
*There are more than 1000 pesticides used around the world to ensure food is
not damaged or destroyed by pests. Each pesticide has different properties and
toxicological effects. Many of the older, cheaper pesticides, such as
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and lindane, can remain for years in soil and
water. These chemicals have been banned by countries who signed the 2001 Stockholm
Convention – an international treaty that aims to eliminate or restrict the production
and use of persistent organic pollutants. The toxicity of a pesticide depends on its
function and other factors. None of the pesticides that are authorized for use on food in
international trade today are genotoxic . Adverse effects from these pesticides occur
only above a certain safe level of exposure. When people come into contact with large
quantities of pesticide, this may cause acute poisoning or long-term health effects,
including cancer and adverse effects on reproduction.
