Pesticides are substances or mixtures of substances that contain biologically active ingredients against pests. Biologically active ingredients are generally toxic substances with the potential to degrade the environment. Many pesticides are also toxic to humans. For these reasons, the production, packaging, storage, transport and use of pesticides are regulated by law.
