pesticide
의미: A chemical substance used to kill insects, weeds, fungi, or other organisms that are harmful to cultivated plants or animals.
Pesticides encompass insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides. While they have dramatically increased agricultural yields, concerns about their environmental impact — particularly on pollinators such as bees — have led to bans on certain chemicals like neonicotinoids in the EU and UK. Pesticide residues in food and water are a recurring public health concern.
