Environmental Agency Cautions on Pesticide Overuse
The Libyan Ministry of Environment has warned against the dangers of overusing agricultural pesticides, particularly the residues remaining on vegetables, which may lead to severe poisoning and chronic diseases. Additionally, it contributes to soil and water pollution and harms living organisms. The ministry called on farmers to adhere to proper practices, such as washing and peeling vegetables and following safety intervals before harvest, to reduce pesticide exposure. Furthermore, samples taken from agricultural products in three cities revealed that 65.3% contained pesticide residues, with 44.7% exceeding internationally permissible limits. This calls for legal measures and warnings to promote food safety and environmental health.
