This article reviews conventional methods for the disposal (neutralization) of waste pesticides belonging to the POPs group and demonstrates their effectiveness. Organochlorine pesticides from this group were characterized, with particular emphasis on their impact on human health and the environment. An unconventional disposal method was also presented, highlighting its advantages. While discussing the types of explosives used in mining, the possibility of modifying them for this purpose was noted. Using a selected organochlorine pesticide as an example, the effectiveness of its decomposition by the detonation method was demonstrated. The potential application of this method for the disposal of organochlorine pesticide waste under industrial limestone mining conditions was also discussed.
