Does Fertilizer Have Any Side Effect On Humans? by Nobody: 9:11pm On Aug 26, 2014
I've heard several people especially the locals say things like 'fertilizer is bad', 'fertilizer causes cancer', 'people of old didn't use fertilizers and they lasted longer'.....and soo many other utterances.

Now, I would want to know the bad effects of fertilizers (if there are any)

They can be dangerous if the left over chemical residue is very toxic to the human body up to a certain biochemical threshold....

According to Research....


"The most significant harmful
effects come from fertilizer that
is designed to kill or prevent
weeds. According to the EPA's
Office of Pesticide Programs, 12
of the most popular pesticides
in the United States have
ingredients known to cause
cancer. Organic fertilizers are
guaranteed to be safe for the
environment, the body and free
of pesticides."

Re: Does Fertilizer Have Any Side Effect On Humans? by padeolu: 10:52pm On Aug 29, 2014
By fertilizer I believe OP is referring to chemical fertilizer...NPK (even though there are other forms of fertilizer).

The toxic chemicals found in fertilisers can be
absorbed into the plants and enter the food chain via
vegetables and cereals, although the biggest health
risk is when the chemicals seep into the ground water
which is then extracted for drinking water. This water
can contain high levels of nitrates and nitrites and have
been known to cause blue-baby syndrome
(methemoglobinemia) and can also lead to miscarriage
in pregnant women. Mercury, lead, cadmium and
uranium are some of the toxic heavy metals that have
been found in fertilisers and can cause distrubances of
the kidneys, lungs and liver and cause cancer -
depending on how much has been consumed!

Too much fertilizer on any plant changes the colour of such plant and also affects its life span, there is no amount of manure that affect both colour and plant life span. Talking from experience as a born farmer. Thanks
