[Ecologically clean agricultural production]

The content of heavy metals in soils of Belgorod region is within the limits of background variation by the results of monitoring. It does not lead to above –standart pollution of agricultural products. Nowadays the content of radionuclides in agricultural products received in east areas, suffered from Chernobyl accident, has decreased and does not exceed the sanitary norms. For example, the content of caesium-137 in milk does not exceed 3 Bq/kg (the admissible limit 100 Bq/kg), in meat it is no more than 3,8 Bq/kg (160 Bq/kg), in bread and bakeries it is no more than 4,2 Bq/kg (40 Bq/kg). Weak radionuclide translocation to plants is caused by buffer properties of chernozems: transition radionuclide coefficient in vegetative products is in 10 times below on chernozems, than on sandy sod-podzolic soils. Positive changes of usable plant protection agents, promoting environment preservation are noted: more effective preparations are applied, preparations with high toxicity for warm-blooded and high persistence are excluded from use. In 2005 the important problem of expired and prohibited pesticide recycling is solved in the region. Measures on ordering of aviation chemical treatments are taken. According to the regional governmental order, all managing subjects are obliged to spend laboratory control of genetically modified sources (GMS) presence agricultural products made in the region or imported. As a result of the accepted measures the import of products GMS containing was reduced from 13,8 % (2004) up to 1,8 % (2006). Many large enterprises spend voluntary ecological certification of made their products except for obligatory certification. Measures of protection of original products from falsification and fakes are accepted.
