More than half the world's agricultural land is at risk of pesticide pollution, experts warn

Lead author Fiona Tang, a postgraduate research student at the  University of Sydney, noted that 34 percent of those high-risk lands are in biodiverse regions, 19 percent are in low- and lower-middle-income nations and five percent are in water-scarce areas. Researchers studied use and spread of 92 active pesticide ingredients in 168 countries Tang and her colleagues studied the use and spread of 92 active ingredients of pesticides in 168 countries. They considered an area at risk of pesticide pollution if the concentration of an active ingredient exceeded “no observed effect concentrations” (NOEC). Meanwhile, the researchers considered an area at high risk if the concentration of an active ingredient was over 1,000 times higher than the NOEC.
