In recent decades, in our country and abroad, chemical agents are widely used to protect crops and to control arthropod pests. The intensity of their use in agricultural zones of the country depends on the type of crops grown, natural-climatic and agrobiological conditions. Numerous hygienic studies proved that long-term and intensive use of chemicals in agriculture causes not only increase in their residual amounts in environmental objects, but also probability of toxic effects of pesticides on human and animal organisms. In areas with intensive use of pesticides, morbidity of children was 2.3-3.6 times higher.
