Chemicals known as pesticides are used to prevent, repel, control, or even completely eradicate pests that are harmful to people. People, as well as other species that are not intended targets, are affected by the usage of pesticides. The parent pesticides, their breakdown products, and their metabolites may have detrimental effects on the ecosystem, the environment, and human health. Examining the literature on the consequences of pesticide pollution on the ecosystem, the environment, and human health was the aim of this study. This was accomplished by evaluating the advantages, consequences, and hazards connected with the ongoing use of pesticides as well as strategies for reducing pesticide pollution, such as biocontrol and GHG reduction. The study's search for review articles was conducted using an online search through websites including Google, Google Scholar, and PUBMED. The research that have been examined show that pesticide contamination has both benefits and drawbacks in addition to having a harmful impact on the ecosystem. In order to reduce pesticide pollution, research has also demonstrated that integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, such as biological and cultural pest control, can be used to manage pests.
