Russia and Belarus to allocate 930 million rubles for neutralising old pesticides
Published
Russia and Belarus have decided to direct 930 million rubles toward developing technologies for neutralising old pesticides. This was reported by the information and analytical agency "Ekologiya". The issue concerns chemical substances that were previously used in agriculture and are no longer applied.
Old pesticides were stored for a long time in warehouses and other locations, and many of them are dangerous to nature and human health. Over time, packaging deteriorates, and the substances can get into the soil and water. Therefore, special technologies and modern equipment are needed for their safe processing and destruction.
Within the framework of the project between the two countries, methods are planned to be developed that will help safely dispose of such substances. Cooperation between Moscow and Minsk in this area may help reduce environmental risks in regions where such stockpiles exist.
Details about specific sites and the timeline for implementing the project have not yet been clarified. Specialists note that addressing old chemical stockpiles remains an important task for environmental protection.
