Project "Utilization of Illegal Pesticides"

Due to the lack of awareness of citizens on danger of direct or indirect contact with pesticides we faced many cases of thefts of parts of store-houses : parts of the roofs, brick and concrete elements that prevent open access to it and this results in worsening of storage conditions of pesticides, and opens access to them.

Such situation happened in Yavorivskuy district, village Krakivetc', where near 1,4 tons of unfit pesticides are stored.
