Abstract
Impact on human health and environment of persistent organic pollutants (DDT, toxaphene, polychlorpinene, polychlorcaphene, polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene) is a serious problem requiring attention of International Community as nowadays the amount of the obsolete and prohibited pesticides in the Russian Federation exceeds 24,100 t. Also, there are some polluted by pesticides territories which require special technological approaches based on identification and definition of sequence of disinfection of the territories polluted with pesticides. For the practical solution of problem connected with withdrawal from use and liquidation of obsolete pesticides stocks as a part of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) it is necessary to develop institutional measures including economic, legal and administrative mechanisms as well as technologies allowing to choose the most safe and economically sound methods of their destruction/neutralization. The problem of destruction/neutralization of above mentioned pesticides in the Russian Federation has not been solved yet. So, it is necessary to select the best available technologies for destruction of these pesticides.
