Pesticide pollution of vegetables, melons and gourds in southern Kyrgyzstan
Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the contamination of vegetables and melons with pesticides in southern Kyrgyzstan over a 35-year period in dynamics, during the period of intensive use of pesticides and their residues. It has been shown that the content of pesticides in vegetables and melons in southern Kyrgyzstan has been trending downward in recent years, but the percentage of detection of organochlorine pesticides remains high due to their slow decay in the environment. Residual amounts of organophosphorus pesticides have not been detected in vegetables and melons in recent years, since they quickly decompose in the environment. Concentration levels of pesticides in various vegetables, melons and gourds are also discussed.
