There are also concerns that non-target organisms, such as pollinators and natural enemies, could be poisoned by accidental ingestion of Bt-producing plants.

A pesticide poisoning occurs when chemicals intended to control a pest affect non-target organisms such as humans, wildlife, or bees.

Harm to non-target organisms such as bees also has the potential to disrupt important ecosystem services and functions such as pollination.

Chemical pesticides can affect non-target organisms and may be hazardous to human health.

Slowly, the use of insecticides was questioned due to its effects on the environment, non-target organisms, and endangered species.

A major advantage of these products is that they are less toxic to non-target organisms, including people, than many traditional pesticides.

Also an intensive environmental assessment would have to be filled out to confirm or deny that any non-target organisms were impacted by the contraception chemicals.

Member States are not allowed to authorise a plant protection product if it has an unacceptable effect on non-target organisms such as bees.

Pesticides, which are normally used to control unwanted insects and plants, may cause a variety of negative effects on non-target organisms.
