Homework for 5 B on 26/10/2016

Science

Read the following content and answer the questions that follow based on the discussions in class in your science note book. Submit on Monday, 31/10/16.

The chemicals like DDT are either washed down into the soil or into the water bodies.

From the soil, these are absorbed by the plants along with water and minerals, and from the water bodies these are taken up by aquatic plants and animals. This is one of the ways by which they enter food chain. As these chemicals are not degradable, these get accumulated progressively at each trophic level. As human beings occupy the top level in any food chain, the maximum concentration of these chemicals gets accumulated in

our bodies. This phenomenon is known as biological magnification. This is the reason why our food grains such as wheat and rice, fruits and vegetables and even fish contain varying amounts of pesticide residues. These chemicals cause stomach related problems or can even affect our nervous system.

In the 1970s and 1980s, agricultural use was banned in most developed countries, beginning with Hungary in 1968 followed by Norway and Sweden in 1970, West Germany and the US in 1972, but not in the United Kingdom until 1984. By 1991 total bans, including for disease control, were in place in at least 26 countries; for example Cuba in 1970, Singapore in 1984, Chile in 1985 and the Republic of Korea in 1986.

Despite the worldwide ban, agricultural use continued in India, North Korea, and possibly elsewhere as of 2008. Today, about 3,000 to 4,000 tons of DDT are produced each year for disease vector control. DDT is applied to the inside walls of homes to kill or repel mosquitoes. DDT and other pesticides had been shown to cause cancer and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly birds.

Q1. How do chemicals reach water bodies?

Q2. What is meant by Bio-magnification?

Q3. Some countries like USA have banned DDT. But some developing nations are still using DDT, why?

Q4. What are the effects of DDT on human beings?
