This article investigates into the multifaceted impact of herbicides on human health, exploring their historical evolution and contemporary risks. The use of herbicides, pivotal in modern agriculture since World War II, has raised concerns about potential health hazards. Inspired by Rachel Carson's seminal work, "Silent Spring," this analysis investigates the health risks associated with herbicides, emphasizing neurological effects, reproductive and endocrine disruptions, carcinogenic potential, and environmental persistence. The discussion highlights the impact of organophosphates and carbamates on the nervous system, manifesting symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Additionally, the environmental persistence of herbicides is addressed, emphasizing soil and water contamination, with potential consequences for aquatic ecosystems and human populations. The abstract emphasizes the critical need for awareness, responsible practices, and sustainable approaches to balance weed control and preserve human well-being.
