Abstract (2. Language): 
Insecticides are used worldwide for crop protection especially in the developing nations. Neonicotinoid insecticides, which are one of the most important classes of commercial insecticides worldwide are systemic in plants and animals and are used to manage crop pests and control fleas on cats and dogs. Acetamiprid belongs to the class of chloronicotinyl neonicotinoid insecticides used to control insects and ectoparasites viz., Hemiptera, particularly aphids, thysanoptera and leptoptera on a wide range of crop species. The indiscriminate and injudicious use of second generation fluoroquinolones viz., enrofloxacin produced anemia, leucopenia, hypoglycaemia, hypoproteinemia, increased enzymatic activity and hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects in broiler chickens. Exposure to heavy metals results in congestion and hemorrhages in the lungs, tubular degeneration in kidneys and occasional hemorrhages in the brain. The present article was conducted to review the various pharmaceutical, physiological and toxicopathological effects of different chemical agents and heavy metals due to environmental exposure and through feed on poultry birds. Heavy metals possess high density and toxicity towards living beings. Heavy metals like arsenic, chromium, lead and mercury are point popular and relevant. Heavy metals constitute the crust of the earth which resists degradation. Human get inflicted with heavy metals through the agency of food, water and atmosphere. Mercury poisoning by eating fishes is a prominent cause for public health hazard.
