Eight of these perimeters are considered very dangerous because of the polluted surrounding areas and the degree of pollution impact on all environmental factors, especially on soil. The amounts of POPs-type pesticides that must be managed properly until elimination and then eliminated according to the BAT technologies are the following: about 4,000 tons of obsolete pesticides and 20,000 tons of soil of various contamination degrees in the main illegal perimeter and about 8,000 tons of pesticides and 100,000 tons of contaminated soil in the other illegal storage areas. Four alternatives for pesticide elimination and soil depollution have been suggested. They deal with the issue totally or partially, comprising eight technologies for the elimination of chlorinated pesticides that can be applied, at least in theory, in Central Asia. This paper ai ms at evaluating these alternatives, namely the applicable elimination technologies. The evaluation is based on objective technical and economic criteria used for the selection of the best solutions to the specified environmental issue. Given the current conditions in Central Asia, these solutions should involve low costs.Chlorinated pesticidesCentral AsiaSoilPollutionSymposium Proceedings
