(Baonghean.vn) - Waste from pesticides not only causes serious environmental pollution but also affects the health of users and people around. However, this type of waste is still carelessly dumped by people in fields and canals. The image was taken at Yen Thanh rice granary - Nghe An
 |
| In Nghe An, it is currently the stage when rice is preparing to form panicles, and pests and diseases continuously appear and cause damage, so in all the fields, you can see farmers trying to spray pesticides and herbicides, and along with that, waste from these toxic chemicals also appears everywhere in the fields. |
 |
| Lots of pesticide containers are littered in the fields. |
 |
| The lack of awareness of some people in the process of using pesticides has caused negative effects on the environment. |
 |
| After spraying, most people rinse the tank right in the canal, which is the source of water for production and daily life of everyone. |
 |
| And the farmers themselves are not aware of protecting themselves when spraying pesticides. Many people do not need to wear protective equipment such as masks, gloves, etc. |
 |
| All are in direct contact without protection. |
 |
| And here... |
 |
| A farmer "innocently" directly mixed herbicide. |
 |
| Pesticide waste collection bins are dumped in the field and no one cares. |
 |
| According to scientists, pesticide packaging is listed as a hazardous waste, when burned it will emit dioxin, one of the carcinogens. Therefore, this type of waste must be destroyed according to the correct procedure. According to Article 72 of the Law on Quarantine and Plant Protection, organizations and individuals using pesticides must preserve the pesticides and collect pesticide packaging in the right place, but in reality, the regulations are being "ignored" by farmers. |
