How pesticides impact human health and ecosystems in Europe

Publication Created 14 Apr 2023 Published 26 Apr 2023
Food production systems in Europe rely on chemical pesticides to maintain crop yields. However, widespread pesticide use is major source of pollution — contaminating water, soil and air, driving biodiversity loss, and leading to pest resistance. Human exposure to chemical pesticides is linked to chronic illnesses such as cancer, and heart, respiratory and neurological diseases. This briefing summarises the latest knowledge on how chemical pesticides impact human health and the environment, and presents good practices to reduce their use and risk across Europe.
