Abstract
This paper presents the situation of managing, utilizing and the impact of plant protection chemicals on the environment and human health in Huong Thuong commune, Thai Nguyen city, Thai Nguyen province. 63 household in 3 villages were randomly selected to be interviewed about the situation of using and the effects of plant protection chemicals. The results showed that the drugs used were mostly pesticides, accounting for 57%, of which those in group II and group III occupied 80%. Drugs group IV accounted for only a small proportion of 20%. Products having chemical origin still made up a large proportion of 72% totally. The organization of training and propaganda to guide people using plant protection products has been concerned by the authority, but only 35% of the interviewees were willing to change the current use of drugs. The proportion of people who fully knew safe procedures for using drugs was low, which has affected the environment and the health of the people.
