Environmental monitoring was conducted of facilities for storage and
disposal of banned and unsuitable pesticides. Pesticide content in soil, water and
products of agriculture in Zhytomyr region of Ukraine was examined, and
accumulation of organochlorine pesticides by freshwater bivalve mollusks was
assessed. Storage facilities of Zhytomyr region contain nearly 392.18 t of pesticides in
137 warehouses, of which 11 meet the requirements, 36 are tolerable, and 90 are in
poor condition. 39.07 t of pesticides are kept in containers of good quality, 22.43 t are
kept in tolerable containers, and storage containers of other pesticides are of poor
quality. In 2018−2019, pesticide content (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT),
heptachlor, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE),
dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)) was studied
in soil and sediments in Zhytomyr region. The content ranged from 0.0007 to 0.07
mg/kg, which is lower than MPC (0.1 mg/kg). The content of HCH, DDT, DDE, DDD
and heptachlor was at 0.0007−0.01 mg/dm3 levels in water bodies of Zhytomyr region
in 2018-2019, also lower than MPC. In a number of samples of soil, water and
vegetables, the recorded levels of DDT and organophosphate pesticides Dragon,
Dorpan, and Dursban exceeded MPC in 1.5–3.0 times. Traces of organochlorine
pesticide Aldrin were found in soft tissues of bivalve mollusks and in the sediments of
water bodies they inhabit. Recommendations are proposed to lower the pesticide
content in the environment.
