| dc.description.abstract | 2,4-D Acid (Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) is a herbicide which is commonly used for agricultural protection in our country. However, the scope of environmental and ecological problems that 2,4-D acid may cause is not known in detail. The ecotoxic studies showed that the usage of 2,4-D causes soft tissue sarcomas in human beings, increase in neoplastic variations in organs such as stomach, pancreas, lung, skin and urinary bladder, decrease in the number of sperms in males and increase in the risk prostate cancer. Moreover, the studies showed that 2,4-D is directly or indirectly effective on all organisms present in aquatic environment such as birds, insects, fish and algae by mixing into the air, soil and water and has some toxic effects on ecosystem depending on this. For this reason, it's very important to raise awareness of public about the unawareness usage of 2,4-D resulting in ecologic risk factors. It seems as an obligatory to raise awareness of public about the usage of this pesticide and to bring new arrangements about its usage in our country. © IDOSI Publications, 2011. | en_US |
