Substances used to control or destroy pests for the growth of crops are known as pesticides.

These pesticides do have negative effects such as when it rains then water falls on the crops on which pesticide has been sprayed. Therefore, this water flows from grounds to the rivers and carry harmful pesticides along with it.

As a result, water gets polluted. Thus, we can conclude that a negative effect of these chemicals on society is polluting the water supply.
