Abstract
Obsolete pesticides are toxic wastes polluting the environment. These wastes
must be disposed by using environmentally safe techniques to be chosen according
to certain criteria based on the safety of the environment, safety of the staff,
the technical experience available, and the financial cost of the operation in
each country or region. In this regard, the most useful technique is the use of
stationary or mobile high temperature incinerators. Incinerators by-products as
well as empty and unwanted containers should be also disposed according to
well-established international regulations. A study was conducted by FAO in 1996
on obsolete pesticides stocks in 53 countries. They reported the presence of
over 47 thousand tons. In 15 Arab countries, the estimated stocks were about 7
thousands tons.
