In this respect five important points are discussed: (1) education of pesticide users, (2) advisory service and information, (3) regulations, (4) the equipment used and (5) alternatives to pesticides. Having in mind the necessity of further use of pesticides a research project concerning the use of pesticides in Sweden has been started by the National Board of Occupational Safety and Health. The project is planned to focuss on four aspects: (1) attendance, (2) testing, (3) enquiry and (4) medical aspect.Opasnost što proistječe iz upotrebe pesticida može se smanjiti ako se po¬štuju određena pravila.
