Banned pesticides, USSR

In the USSR, permitting and banning pesticides took place without considering human or environmental interests. Fig. 1 illustrates this trend you can clearly see the spikes in pesticide banning in the USSR/Russia. [Pg.19]

It was often the case in the USSR that pesticides were used and even produced before, sometimes even without, developing health protocols. This is seen when we analyze Tables 1.6 and 1.7, where a number of pesticides were used for many years, in essence illegally. Health protocols for different environments were never formulated until the pesticide was banned. The negative consequences of using each pesticide in practice were not gauged on laboratory animals, but on their interaction with humans and the environment. [Pg.19]

It was usual in the USSR that, even when strictly complying with the MPC, neither environmental nor human safety were ensured. Table 1.6 shows MPC examples of the water from reservoirs where the Health and Epidemiological Service needed to toughen MPCs in later years because several factors had been neglected. Shaded pesticides in this table (as well as following tables) were subsequently officially banned. [Pg.19]

Each pesticide used in the USSR had the same history permit, realization that a mistake was made, ban. The only variable in all of these histories was the length of time required to understand that a mistake had been made when the permit was issued. When removing the pesticide from circulation, officials dted several reasons wen/ high toxicity (aldrin, dieldrin, parathion, demeton,... [Pg.20]

The usual method for disposing of pesticides in the USSR was walling them into spent quarries and mine shafts. For example, more than 3000 tons of pesticides were walled into unfitted vertical boreholes in the Krasnodar Krai. The complete destruction of pesticides has become a large environmental problem, comparable in scale to the problem of destroying chemical weapons stocks. About 40,000 tons of unused pesticides (banned or too old to be used) had accumulated in the countries of the former Soviet Union, about half of which are located in Russia. [Pg.27]

Rachel Carson s book Silent Spring that was published in 1962 was the first popular work to bring the uncontrolled environmental contamination by pesticides to public attention. Well-publicized and well-organized campaigns were mounted in several countries to prohibit the use of DDT and other persistent chlorinated insecticides such as Aldrin and heptachlor. Governments in many developed countries like USA, UK, Italy, USSR, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, proclaimed bans on DDT or severely restricted its use around 1960-1970. [Pg.369]

Based on scientific data, pesticides that exhibit human and environmental hazards can be forbidden in the USSR, although they may be reconunended by agricultural groups or widely used in other countries. Banned organophosphate pesticides are thimet, azinphos-methyl, dialiphos, dicrotophos, isofenphos, Ultracide and Nemacur organochlorines, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and isodrin carbamates, Temik and dioxicarb dithiocarbamates, ziram and maneb and bipyridiliums, paraquat (selective pulmotropic action). [Pg.118]
