Pesticides and fertilizers are when you spray chemicals on plants and crops to mabe die or grow.And lots of people use pesticides and fertilizers and its bad sometimes. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used by farmers to protect crops from insects and bacterias. They are useful for the plants growth. But when these chemicals are mixed up with water they produce harmful for plants and animals. Also, when it rains, the chemicals mixes up with rainwater and flow down into rivers and canals which pose serious damages for aquatic animals.
Why are pesticides and fertilizers bad for water?
Because when it rains, it gets in the groundwater. then it goes down to the sewers and and then it goes to the ocean. it's bad! it mixes up with the water it gets into animals mouths, then the humans eat it then they might die
How can we help?!?
Never pore pesticides down the drain. Do not reuse the container. Dispose of at Household hazardous waste events or at a Waste facility. Pesticides should never be Stored alongside food, feed or seed. If a Spillage occurs, the contaminated area should not be hosed down. This will cause the pesticide to spread into groundwater.
Fun facts!
Did you no that fertilizers are when you put chemicals in the ground, and pesticides are when you mix the water and the chemicals,then it goes in sewers, and it goes out the sewer into the ocean, to kill animals and plants, then when the humans catch it they will eat it so they can die, its kindove like a life cycle!
