Abstract |
As the production and use of chemical pesticides continue to increase so do pesticide wastes. Many of these wastes are accumulated in the environment and present hazards in many forms. The magnitude of this problem is presented as it relates to solid waste management. Some of the important factors that influence the production of pesticides are listed. Current studies on processing and disposal techniques (composting, incineration, waste management, ultimate disposal, recycling and reuse) for the pesticide wastes and containers are discussed, and new avenues of approach and needed research efforts are suggested for mitigation of the problem. |
