Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the
levels of hazardous pesticides used in Ukraine and the
world and to identify the most dangerous of them.
The main agrochemical manufacturers of Ukraine
are analyzed and a list of active pesticide substances is
made. The ecotoxic method has been used and the list of
the most environmentally hazardous pesticides for the
environment and humans has been established. The
mechanism of increasing environmental safety by using
different pesticides on agricultural lands with acid and
alkaline soils is proposed.
