The Eighth Bulletin warns on pesticide risks
The results of investigations by the Public Prosecution in Libya reveal significant contamination of agricultural crops with pesticide residues that exceed permissible limits. Tests showed that 65% of the samples collected from various regions contained banned pesticides or carcinogenic substances. The problem arises from weak oversight and the absence of an effective system to monitor the importation and distribution of pesticides from the moment they enter the country, which has allowed the proliferation of illegal pesticides and the improper use of permissible ones before their safety periods have elapsed. The Attorney General also called for the adoption of a comprehensive national approach to enhance food security by coordinating efforts among authorities and strengthening tracking processes to prevent the entry of non-compliant pesticide shipments. Additionally, there is a pressing need to update national pesticide laws and implement effective monitoring mechanisms.
