Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to indicate how the environmental safety issues grow rapidly in the convergence with economic aspects in modern world, and, secondly, to present analyses of implementation of economic-mathematical methods for assessment analysis to OPs management issues. For management (destruction and recycling) of OPs a comprehensive approach is required that includes also modeling, safety assessment and identification of the pesticides, which further will be the determining factor when choosing a method of destruction for the particular region. We offer an economic-mathematical approach to use ecological-economic models, taking into account particularly the density and type of contamination of OPs in synergy with pure economic factors.
