Thepresent work is a finecontribution to the broad field of
environmental security in the context of risk assessment and
management of obsolete pesticides for the region of Southeast
Europe. The purpose of this book is to evaluate the existing
knowledge of improper disposal of obsolete pesticides in the
region, to estimate the associated impact on environmental health,
and to develop recommendations to mitigate or eliminate threats
posed to the environment, biodiversity and human life. The issues
discussed in the book include: reviews of the transport and fate of
pesticides and associated contaminated materials in different
environmental media and identification of the principal sources,
emission routes and patterns of environmental pollution with
pesticides; a recognition of the most suitable methods for
environmental sampling analysis and sample preparation; an
evaluation of the current methods and techniques for chemical and
mass analysis of environmental and biological samples and
discussion of the metrological and quality aspects of trace
analyses; a characterization of the environmental and human health
impacts of pesticide pollution, the health effects associated with
acute and chronic exposure and the use of epidemiological data for
risk assessment; a revision of the existing chemical safety
regulations and strategies for protection and management of
obsolete pesticide stocks; a survey of the international
conventions, directives and standards concerning pesticide use.
