How can Obsolete Pesticides be destroyed? E-mail
They are hazardous chemical wastes and if not properly disposed of may form a huge source of pollution and contamination. Currently, the most advanced destruction option is high temperature incineration. Other non-incineration technologies include plasma arc, Gas-Phase Chemical Reduction, Bse Catalyzed Decomposition, and others. However these are not large scale operational plants for these. The Africa Stockpiles Programme has conducted a Disposal Technology Options study which reviews these technologies and can be accessed from www.africastockpiles.net
