THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROBABLE CONTAMINATION OF A HUMAN ORGANISM BY 2,4-D THAT IS IN FOODSTUFFS

E.I. Davidyuk

The levels of the 2,4-D contents in agricultural products are brought. The total day and night 2,4-D contamination of a human organism with the cereals and milk was determined in the end of the eighties and it could reach 80% of the allowed day and night level. It has been determined that within 1998—2002 only 1,8% from 3 thousand different foodstuffs samples were containing the herbicide but on the level of "tracing quantities". It is possible that high the herbicide use will lead both the contamination of agricultural products and harmful influence for health of humans.
