chemical produced for the purpose of killing a variety of pests, including insects, rodents, weeks and so forth. By nature, pesticides are extremely toxic. This is a huge industry, with  annual revenues reaching over $13 billion in the early 1970s. As an example, in 1971, the World Health Organization classified the product leptophos, extremely hazardous because it had delayed nuerotoxic  effects. This was a very popular pesticide sold under the label Phosvel. Reports indicated that this product was responsible for the deaths of water buffalo in Egypt.

They also have a lot of benefits, such as increasing crop production. For example, prior to pesticides, about 25 percent of
