Fine Art Print : Pesticide contamination, SEM
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Pesticide contamination, SEM
Pesticide food contamination. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a single crystal of a fungicide on a broad bean plants leaf. Fungicides are used to kill the fungi that damage food crops and other plants. The plants must be washed after harvesting, in order to reduce the contamination of human food with potentially toxic chemicals. Magnification: x3400 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library highlights the issue of pesticide contamination in our food. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showcases a single crystal of a fungicide on a broad bean plant's leaf. Fungicides are essential for protecting food crops and plants from harmful fungi, but their use comes at a cost. The image serves as a reminder that after harvesting, it is crucial to wash the plants thoroughly to minimize the risk of human food being contaminated with potentially toxic chemicals. With a magnification of x3400 when printed 10cm wide, the intricate details of this crystalline structure become apparent. The photograph sheds light on the dangerous consequences that pesticides can have on our environment and health. It emphasizes the importance of responsible farming practices and pest control methods that prioritize both crop protection and consumer safety. Chemistry plays an integral role in understanding these toxins, which can be poisonous and even carcinogenic if not handled properly. This image serves as a valuable tool for pollution research by providing visual evidence of pesticide residue and its potential impact on our ecosystem. Overall, this striking SEM print captures the complex relationship between agriculture, chemistry, and environmental sustainability while urging us to consider safer alternatives for pest control in order to protect both our crops and ourselves from contamination.
