Environmental toxins in the holiday paradise: pesticide contamination has been proven as far away as the mountains of South Tyrol. Nearly 30 pesticides detected in remote mountain valleys and peaks.
Pesticide residues on public areas have decreased significantly in the period from 2018 to 2022, as a study by the South Tyrolean Sanitation Company in collaboration with the Laimburg Test Center showed. But studies in recent years have already shown that pesticides can spread significantly beyond agricultural areas and, for example, pollute insects in nature reserves.
