Safe removal of old pesticides and chemicals
2001
Ciraj, M. (Ministry of Health, Ljubljana (Slovenia))
By old pesticide burdens are meant the remains and packaging of plant protection products and non agriculture pesticides, which are characterised by the term biocides. Unused remains of these means have accumulated for various reasons in past years, and they must be collected and suitably destroyed. In Slovenia, after almost a decade of efforts at a systematic arrangement of this problem, and at ensuring a suitable way, as well as the funds, to remove the old burden, an all-Slovene project has been prepared, by which old burdens of pesticides, as well as chemicals, will be removed in a specific time span, and suitable measures taken to prevent their accumulation in the future. The Government of the Republic of Slovenia resolved at its session of 29.11.2000, by resolution no. 065-00/98-32, that the removal of old burdens of waste pesticides and chemicals be determined a special priority, and required the relevant ministries: the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, and the Ministry of Health, to provide suitable funds for this in their budgets. It was agreed among the relevant ministries that the National Chemicals Bureau coordinates the project.
