Question

With the help of an example explain how indiscriminate use of pesticides may result in the degradation of the environment.

Answer 1

Indiscriminate use of pesticides may result in the degradation of the environment. For example, DDT is an organic pesticide which is used to kill pests in crop fields. When it is used in large quantity it can be passed along the food chain from crops to man or other animals and birds and can harm them.
