Skrypka H. Veterinary and sanitary assessment of natural honey bee on the content of organochlorine pesticides residues.

The content of organochlorine pesticides (HCH (?, ?, ?-isomers), DDT and its metabolites in apiaries environmental objects (soil, water, honey plants) as the main sources of contamination of natural honey have been studied. The dependence between the residual number of organochlorine pesticides in the main honey plants and their botanical species was discovered. Conversion factor of organochlorine pesticides from the soil to honey flowers was defined. The influence of storage modes for concentration ?-HCH and DDT in honey bee kind and set the optimum mode storing honey in the presence of pesticides. Veterinary and sanitary assessment of natural honey bee for content of residual HCH (?, ?, ?-isomers), DDT and its metabolites was been conducted. Organoleptic and physico-chemical properties of natural honey obtained in the areas with different content of pesticides have been studied. Specific accumulation of honey pollutants according to its botanical origin and level of contamination in the apiary was been observed. The effect of low doses of ?-HCH and DDT subject combined with honey was been experimentally studied on white mice, both separately (at a concentration of 3.0 mkg/kg) and in combination (at a concentration of 6.0 mkg/kg). The influence of storage modes for concentration of ?-HCH and DDT in natural honey bee has been studied. The optimum mode for honey storage under the conditions of pesticides has been observed. As a result of the research, the indicators of HCH (?, ?, ?-isomers), DDT and its metabolites content in the environment apiaries and natural honey bee have been scientifically proved. It has been recommended to use them as basic ones during veterinary and sanitary control. Methodological «Study of HCH (?, ?, ?-isomers), DDT and its metabolites in the veterinary and sanitary condition of bee products» have been worked out.
