Economy and Environment Review Pesticide Monitoring
The article focused on the Libyan government's efforts to strengthen oversight of agricultural pesticides and protect the environment and public health. Ministers of Economy, Commerce, and Environment agreed on unifying procedures for inspecting and analyzing pesticides to ensure they are free from carcinogenic or banned substances, through sampling and analysis in cooperation with the Petroleum Research Center, with the results being officially recognized by the relevant authorities. The meeting also discussed measures to monitor the registration and distribution of pesticides, emphasizing the importance of coordination among regulatory agencies to reduce the use of banned pesticides. This comes after recent results showed that 65% of agricultural crops contained residues of banned or carcinogenic pesticides, with 44.7% of the samples exceeding internationally permissible limits.
