Abstract
Pesticides are nothing new in human life, especially farmers. Apart from having benefits for plants and humans, these pesticides also have negative effects that can be harmful to the surrounding environment and humans. According to the World Health Organization or WHO, in 2017 there were 18.2 disorders in every 100,000 people from all over the world due to health problems as a result of the use of pesticides. In fact, most people believe that using pesticides can protect plants and crops, livestock and fish from losses caused by various pests. Because with the help of pesticides, farmers believe they can avoid losses due to attacks by plant pests consisting of pests, diseases and weeds. So this paper was created with the aim of providing information about the use of pesticides and their impact on the environment, especially in the agricultural sector and their impact on humans. The method used is reviewing previous literature studies. Paraquat dichloride is a herbicide with the active ingredient 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride. This compound is toxic to plants and animals. Paraquat dichloride is also toxic to humans. Direct exposure or inhalation can cause severe lung damage and in some cases, can be fatal. The use of paraquat can cause negative impacts on the environment, especially if used incorrectly or excessively. This can include water and land pollution.
