Abstract

Many countries of the world seek to achieve remarkable breakthroughs in the framework of achieving development and progress in the political, social, cultural and other fields, and therefore efforts or requirements are made. For example, it creates many industrial and agricultural projects, which require costs and exploitation of natural resources and wealth, in a manner that may be irrational or unbalanced. Also, the process of development and growth, and the necessities of commercial and daily life may be accompanied by the use of various types of chemical pesticides and chemicals in agriculture or industry. The indiscriminate or excessive use of chemical substances or compounds can cause environmental pollution in the components of nature: soil, water and air, and thus adversely affect the human being due to the negative impact in his environment first.
