AB Pesticides  are  among  the  few  toxic  substances  deliberately  added  to  our  environment.  They  are,  by  definition,  toxic  and  biocidal,  since  their  purpose  is  to  kill  or  harm  living  things.  Pesticides  are  ubiquitous  global  contaminants  found  in  air,  rain,  snow,  soil,  surface  and  ground  water,  fog,  even  the  Artctic  ice  pack.  All  living  creatures  tested  throughout  the  world  are  contaminated  with  pesticides—birds,  fish,  wildlife,  domestic  animals,  livestock,  and  human  beings,  including  newborn  babies.
