Abstract:
Bangladesh is a major agricultural country, more than 70% of the population is dependent
on the crops produced by rural farmers. Rural farmers are facing various problems while
growing crops for the people. When farmers apply pesticides and fertilizers on the land, it
has a serious effect on their health for example: eye and skin irritation, headache,
inhalation and many more. Moreover, pesticides and fertilizers used in crops are mixing
with rain water and entering the pond water. This is polluting the water. Biodiversity of
aquatic plants and animals is being lost. On the other hand, the use of this water is
causing various health problems to the villagers such as; dermatitis, allergies, skin
diseases and other. we have collected water from ponds which infested with pesticides
and fertilizer. Has collected water from two sides of this pond and upstream zone. The
waters are then tested in lab and comparatively higher values of ph-acidity, EC, TDS and
Total Harness etc. Water contains a lot of acid which is relatively harmful to everyone.
This polluted water is having a devastating effect on ecosystem and biodiversity diversity
and with the user health risks are increasing day by day. So, the damage of farmer health
and other local people. And environmental balance increasing day by day. We need to
work together to protect environmental health, human health, biodiversity and
ecosystems. Because these are very important elements of the environment.
