Environmental Concerns of Pesticide Use

Pesticides released into the environment have many different fates. A pesticide can move through the air and eventually end up in soil or water. Pesticides applied to soil can end up in nearby bodies of water or leach through the soil and into groundwater. Pesticide application in soil or water can also find their way back to the air through volatilization or transport on wind-blown dust particles. This video discusses environmental problems such as volatilization, drift, leaching, runoff, soil adsorption, and pesticide transformations, as well as ways to reduce risk.

How will you break these pesticide residue from the soil?

[@Dman9fp]

Organisms in the soil usually do that. But I am only aware of the existence of some Very nasty pesticides/ might not always be true (I'm only pretty informed/ have experience with aquatic herbicides, but also some larvicides for mosquitos)
