According to the legislation, under the conditions of surface processing, the distance from the village to the territory to be processed should be at least 300 meters, with rod sprinkling. At least 500 meters - if the field is cultivated by the fan method.

If you believe that spraying crops with chemicals is dangerous for your health and the health of your child, you should contact the State Production and Consumer Service or the State Environmental Inspection. They have to give a conclusion about how the chemicals affect the residents.

You can also call the police exactly during the spraying of crops. They will record the very fact of the offense (if any), collect the necessary materials and hand them over to the relevant services for consideration of the case.

The answer is informational and does not replace a full legal consultation. For a detailed analysis of your situation, contact a lawyer directly.
