Abstract
In Ukraine, there is a problem of environmentally hazardous handling of used packaging of pesticides and other toxic chemicals and hazardous waste which can pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. The paper presents modern methods of disposal of pesticide packaging in the world and the situation in Ukraine. The Ukrainian and world environmental legislations regulating the problem of pesticide packaging management are analyzed. The scheme of processing and disposal of pesticide containers is proposed. Types and materials from which pesticide packaging is made are analyzed. Methods and equipment for washing of pesticide containers and handling of washing solutions are given. As a result, it is recommended to intensify the process of organizing a system for collecting, certifying and setting up licensed pesticide and other hazardous waste disposal facilities, as well as ensuring state support and the use of the best international experience.
Highlights
Pesticides are extremely poisonous, so packaging must ensure that these products do not leak into the environment even during long-term storage
Important is the continued disposal of used empty containers sometimes with minor pesticide residues, which can pose a direct threat to the environment and human health and other living ecosystems
The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of disposal of pesticide packaging and to develop measures for the improvement of the environmental safety of the industry
Summary
Pesticides are extremely poisonous, so packaging must ensure that these products do not leak into the environment even during long-term storage. Important is the continued disposal of used empty containers sometimes with minor pesticide residues, which can pose a direct threat to the environment and human health and other living ecosystems. In Ukraine, the problem of collection and disposal of empty containers, in particular from pesticide preparations, is not given sufficient attention and this problem is not solved. Managing the ecological safety of pesticide packaging requires scientific justification and the development of practical recommendations for the relevant environmental services. The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of disposal of pesticide packaging and to develop measures for the improvement of the environmental safety of the industry. The object of the study is the process of handling and processing of pesticidal packaging. The subject of the study is packaging methods and packaging for pesticides. Research methods include the literary search, collection, analysis and processing of information
