Argentina: Prohibition of pesticide use on crops during loading and transportation. (2016). The Library of Congress.
The article describes a particular case of pesticide prohibition on the national level. Namely, pesticides cannot be applied to crops in Argentina when they are being packaged or shipped. The importance of this decision lies in the fact that chemicals used on eatable products have a potential danger to the environment and health of the country’s citizens.

The article provides a look at the legislation that modifies pesticide spread, sale, and use regulations. For example, canceling the registration of several chemicals and establishing a procedure for interested people to publish a petition to appoint a main chemical or pesticide as a threatening pesticide are discussed.

The article informs that the natural history of any creature, as well as the channels by which it could be subjected to pesticides during foraging and nesting behaviors, is an essential component of its pesticide risk. A close examination of pollinators, as described in these chapters, can aid in understanding how they live and perform critical roles in agroecosystems.

The article showcases the overlooked natural laborers who play a crucial role in the world’s environment and everyday lives. Pollinators are threatened by a number of issues, including pesticides, such as those used by farmers to protect their crops, which are not necessarily insect-specific. The pesticides used to eliminate destructive pests also kill beneficial pollinators like bees.

The article focuses on the approaches that can be used for studying the pesticide industry. For example, it is articulated that the topic of pesticides is linked to investigating other potential reasons for bird population reduction, such as habitat destruction, invasive plants, and environmental degradation. The article considers both hazardous and beneficial cases of the chemicals used in agriculture.
