What is chemical pollution in agricultural 什么是農(nóng)業(yè)中的化學污染
Chemical pollutants include a variety of substances created through combustion such as nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, lead, and sulfur. In addition, substances such as CFCs are considered to be chemical pollutants.
Chemical pollution is emitted on a daily basis by thermal power plants, cars, mines, refineries, and other similar manufacturing facilities. Cement and metal processing such as that used to create steel also add chemical pollutants to the atmosphere, as does the manufacture of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals.
Many nations have enacted pollution control laws designed to reduce factory emissions through the use of filters and modernized facilities.
Detergent as chemical pollutant: Detergent which we use in the washing are non biodegradable and when present in the environment they do not decay and will be present in the environment for ever. So Detergent are a major sources of pollution in the water bodies. They are to be properly treated before releasing to the environment.
Insecticide as chemical pollutant: Insecticide we use like DDT is potentially harmful to the human being. The use of chemical insecticide is more increasing due to the pressure on the land. More produce is expected from the given land, so use of large scale insecticide is imminent. So when the residual insecticide is not treated properly it goes into the ecosystem and it is not clearly by the environment very easily. When they are present in the environment they get into the food chain and can cause many diseases like cancer.
Heavy metal as chemical pollutant: Many heavy metals like Mercury, Chromium, lead is highly poisonous to the health. When they are present in the parts they are highly dangerous. They may cause many diseases including cancer and asthma Chromium which is mainly used in the lead tanneries, is the major pollutant of the water when the effluent of the tanneries are lead out into the water bodies. They affect aqueous living organism affecting the ecosystem.
Until the 1950s most farming was carried out on smaller family farms that used organic fertilizers and essentially their waste production was easily assimilated by soils and receiving water bodies. The period post 1950 has seen a worldwide shift to larger monoculture, intensively operated farm units. The farm yields have increased dramatically, however, to sustain the increasing yields and productivity farms are using large quantities of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. At the same time, deforestation has occurred on a large scale since the 1950s and the deforested land has been converted to agricultural (mostly in developing countries) and urban (both developed and undeveloped countries) land uses. Also, a massive shift of population from rural areas to the cities has occurred in developing countries since the 1950s. Surface and groundwater quality degradation due to agricultural practices and conversion of land to agriculture can be categorized as follows: a) degradation due to land use conversion from native lands to agriculture； b) increased erosion and soil loss due to agricultural practices； c) chemical pollution by fertilizers and pesticides； and d) pollution from animal operations. Abatement of agricultural diffuse sources of pollution can and must be conducted in the context of moving toward sustainable agriculture. Some trends toward sustainable agriculture are already emerging in the US and Europe.
食品污染(food pollution)是指食品在生產(chǎn)（包括農(nóng)作物種植crops planting和動物飼養(yǎng)animal feeding、獸醫(yī)治療veterinarian treatment）、加工(process)、包裝(package)和貯運(storage)過程中非故意加入食品中的物質，包括環(huán)境污染和生產(chǎn)加工過程中產(chǎn)生的（如霉菌毒素mycotoxin）。
隨著研究的深入，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，從20世紀60年代開始廣泛應用于工、農(nóng)業(yè)中的各種化學制劑(chemical agent)、化肥(fertilizer)、高效殺蟲劑(pesticide) 對環(huán)境的污染，導致了人類生殖力(fertility)下降，這些化學物質能夠干擾人類雌雄激素(estrogen and androgen)分子。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，到20世紀末的50年間，男性的精子(sperm)數(shù)量減少了50％，甚至有人認為人類如果不加以控制，最后會被自己創(chuàng)造的化學物質所消滅。盡管這有點危言聳聽，但環(huán)境中化學物質的危害應該引起高度重視。
The program purpose is to reduce the pollution of agricultural products (mainly vegetables and fruits) and agro-environment (soil and water), e.g. caused by excessive use of agro-chemicals, organic and chemical fertilizers and from intensive livestock farming.
項目目標是：減少農(nóng)藥、有機肥料和化學性肥料的過量使用、以及畜禽養(yǎng)殖過程中產(chǎn)生的畜禽糞污染對農(nóng)產(chǎn)品（蔬菜、水果）和農(nóng)業(yè)環(huán)境（土壤、水）的污染。
Great efforts will made to monitor the rural environment and improve it in a comprehensive way of making a point of preventing and controlling agricultural chemical pollution.
積極開展農(nóng)村環(huán)境監(jiān)測和綜合治理，特別注意防治農(nóng)業(yè)化學污染。
The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/ leads to pollution.
農(nóng)業(yè)方面化學物質使用的不斷增加也造成了污染。
Chemical pollutants released into water or spread through the air are often invisible to human eye.
釋放到水體中或空氣傳播的化學污染物通常是不可見的。
One of the most disturbing aspects of the changes in Earth is the rate at which chemical pollutants produced by human activities, which are destroying the protective layer of ozone in Earth's upper atmosphere.
地球上的變化最令人煩擾的方面之一，是人類活動所產(chǎn)生的化學污染正在迅速破壞地球上部大氣圈臭氧保護層。
Several decades ago, Americans dumped raw sewage into rivers and many industrial plants are now still dumping chemical pollutants into lakes, rivers and oceans.
幾十年前，美國人把未經(jīng)處理的污物、污水傾倒入江河，許多工廠如今仍在把化學污染物倒入湖泊、江河和海洋。
