Impacts of agricultural chemical use and health effects

Abstract

Designing mixed research methods with Documentary and Correlation Research Data Methodologies were reviewed, analyzed, and synthesized on agricultural productions for exporting agricultural productions in Thailand, which 46% of Thailand's land is used for agriculture, and employs over 30% of the workforce and contributes significantly to the country’s gross domestic product, which are the key sectors of the economy with GDP, increasingly. Agricultural production commodities include rice, durian fruit, cassava, rubber, grains, sugar, seafood, and frozen shrimp with the Parties Ratifying the Paris Agreement, legally. Using chemicals and pesticides has increased in agricultural processing Thailand’s major role as a leading exporter of the world. Without pesticides, fruit production could drop by 78%, vegetable production by 54%, and cereal production by 32%. The widespread and poorly regulated use of pesticides presents a potential risk to the health of farmers, farm families, and general populations, and the environmental soil and water surface risks in the food chain. Farmers who use pesticides have higher cholesterol, body fat, and waist circumference than organic farmers. Creative the 30-item Questionnaire on the Impact of Agricultural Chemical Use on Fresh Food Consumption (QIACFC) on five scales and the 10-item Attitudes Towards Agricultural Products as Raw Materials for Food has an Impact on Health (AARFIH) research instruments are valid and reliable and assessed 300 people’s perceptions in five options. They thought that food is poisoned by chemicals including fresh vegetables, dried food, fresh fruits, frozen seafood, and fresh meat food contaminated with chemicals can have serious health effects, respectively. The R² value indicates that 64% of participants’ perceptions of the food contaminated with chemicals affect the health of a food ingredient's physical health to its impact of pesticide use in agriculture, significantly.
