Descripción
Obsolete pesticide stocks have
accumulated in most of the world's developing countries
and economies in transition in recent decades. International
organizations estimate that some 500,000 tons are stockpiled
worldwide, about half of which are located in countries of
the former Soviet Union. Across the African continent,
obsolete stocks total about 50,000 tons, while Latin America
has at least 30,000 tons. This report includes the following
sections: section one includes overview, section two include
risk assessment method for priority-setting. Section three
includes setting cleanup priorities in Tunisia. Section four
includes cleanup and safeguarding highlights in Africa.
Finally, section five includes reducing the risk.
