The use of synthetic fertilizers throughout the years has caused an overabundance of toxic chemicals to enter our oceans and rivers. The runoff water and soil from farmlands and residential properties that use these chemicals are beginning to enter the drinking water supply causing a wide variety of health problems. Researchers have found that when the warm water of the Mississippi river combines with the cold water from the Atchafalaya river the differences in the water temperatures creates an atmosphere were algae grows, then dies and decomposes. This decomposition of toxic algal blooms and the over enrichment of the environment in the water leads to the death of shrimp, shellfish, fish, sea grasses, and coral reefs. A report from the United Nations states that inappropriate irrigation and low stream water has increased the amount of saline in the freshwater supply. This increase of saline has lead to an inability of agricultural land to sustain important crops.

Controlling lawn and outdoor pests is an important facet to any home owner. People pay lucrative amounts of money for property; to some people their home is the most cherished possession they will ever own. The last thing they want is to have a pest problem in their lawn and plant that can ruin outdoor experiences. Luckily, there are ways to prevent these infestations and primarily the main form of protection is through chemicals which will prevent pests from invading landscape.

However, landscape pest control is composed of oil based chemicals that come with both environmental and health drawbacks. There are many negative effects these chemicals can have on your life. The first aspect of life which these chemicals can negatively impact is the environment.
