modern pesticides were developed as the by-products of research on nerve gas and explosives. After World War II, synthetic organic compounds ushered in a new era of pesticides—one that conveniently found a use for chemicals previously used in war. The chemical industry transitioned to peacetime by, for example, pushing DDT everywhere it could, even with the knowledge that "non-target" species were dying as a sort of collateral damage.<span class="ql-inline-citation" data-cite="2"></span> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_3-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Thankfully, we recognized the <a href="https://www.treehugger.com/what-is-ddt-environmental-impact-and-current-uses-5189097" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">horrid toxicological effects</a> of DDT, and it is now banned in much of the world.

"In many cases these chemicals end up a long way downstream and often, though in much smaller amounts, all the way to the ocean.” </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_13-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_14-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The researchers show that some 80% of applied pesticides degrade into byproducts ("daughter molecules") in the soil that surrounds crops. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_15-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_16-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> “This degradation of pesticides often occurs as a ‘cascade’ of molecules into the surrounding environment, which can persist in the environment for a long time and can be just as harmful as the parent molecule or applied pesticide. One such example is glyphosate. Although it is highly degradable, it breaks down into a molecule known as AMPA that is both highly persistent and toxic,” says Maggi.<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_17-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_18-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The study reveals that only a fraction of pesticides enter river systems. But once they are in the water, most of the active ingredients end up in the ocean.

Advocates argue that they are needed in order to grow adequate food. But Maggi points out that reducing pesticide use worldwide is possible without threatening food security, as long as such initiatives are designed and implemented in consultation with food producers. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_32-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_33-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> “Globally, there is a lot of room to increase efficiencies and yield while still supporting an abundant food supply through new technology and modern crop management practices,” he says.
