You can find hundred kilograms of pesticides in two buildings of the former depository, some part is in bags, while the other part is in barrels, while another part is spread all over the territory of the depository. Pesticide bags are torn apart, while wind spread pesticides from the buildings into environment and the territory of fish farm. In some bags DDT content exceeds 50%.
