Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) safely handle waste liquid and solid wastes generated in inspection lab; (2) spray water and reduce dust generation; (3) set application amount of lime, organic fertilizer, and soil passivator based on soil characteristics and risk degree in different demonstration areas based on monitoring result of soil; (4) provide corresponding subsidy for farmers with cost increase in raw materials and labor forces due to the change agricultural measures; (5) develop training on pest prevention knowledge for agricultural technical personnel and farmers; and (6) inspect heavy metal content in residues after industrial utilization of ultra-standard rice and safely handle ultra-standard residues of heavy metal by adopting sanitary landfill and other methods.  Réduire
