Over the summer, the researchers has indicated that pesticide is dangerous to the aquatic life because it alter the ecosystems, cause nuisance, and spread disease. The decrease in biodiversity was due to several species being susceptible to pesticides and it is affecting the food chain. The species that are decreasing are mostly flies because their habitat is around littoral zone, meaning contact with both surface and water. According to ecotoxicologist, Matthias Liess, Pesticides always cause impact on the ecosystem, no matter what protection was created.
