Abstract

The ecotoxicological indicators of pesticides used against Halyomorpha Halys in the Samegrelo region of Georgia and the health status of the population living in the area of the poisoning works were studied in a descriptive epidemiological study by "interviewing-face-to-face" method of random selection. The conducted research showed that when using chemical means against Halyomorpha Halys in case of contact with these substances, all existing sanitary-hygienic requirements are generally observed. Before the start of each season, local self-government representatives strictly control the population advance warning schedule, all mass media (radio, television, newspapers, etc.) and internet space are intensively used. Against the background of the implemented measures, there were no cases of acute and chronic poisoning caused by pesticides in the population of the mentioned region.
