The earthworm forms major components of the soil system & these organisms have been efficiently ploughing the land for millions of the year and recycling the organic materials for efficient growth of plants. The Waste biomass from domestic, agricultural urban and industrial sources the environmental pollution in developing countries. It can be easily recycled by the activity of the earthworm to produce remarkable vermicompost. It plays an important role in the fragmentation and breakdown of plant and organic waste material reaches to the soil and it get decomposed so earthworm is considered as vital component of the terrestrial ecosystem. (Baker, G.H. (1998). The bioaccumulation of pesticides in earthworm may not lead to significant effect to the animal itself but may produce serious damage to higher tropic level. (Van Gestel et al., 1992). The contaminated humus soil along consume by the worm and acts on its physiological functions properly. Enzyme secreted in the gut of the worm will help to digest the food as well as play their role in other metabolic processes of the body of an animal but the chemical residue act on body tissue, finally the worm affected due to contaminant of pesticides to the tissue, showed clinical significance on pathological consequences.
