The pesticides are chemicals, it is used to protect the pests from the crop for better production. But it resulted in air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution etc. If the pesticides sprayed to field using helicopters etc. the amount of pesticide reached at the entire area other than plants. Since the pesticide particle rest on air it causes the contamination of chemicals in the atmosphere and wind will moved it to other areas. It has effects on water, birds, plants, animals and humans. Since there is a food chain the pesticide will flows from one to another and thus the effects also seen in all. The highly poisoned pesticides can effect on the next generation of humans. Since the water source near to the crop field is polluted the all organisms will die and the rest will transfer the effects to other.
