Introduction. Population growth, industrial development and intensification of agriculture in Ukraine led to increased pollution of the environment with ecotoxicants. Many toxic substances entering the atmosphere, soil and water sources cause a negative impact on autochthonous flora of surface water and soil, plants, animals and human [17].
Among these ecotoxic substances pesticides occupy a special place. First of all, because they are designed to killing and limitation of living organisms - weeds, pathogens of plants, insects and rodents. However, pesticides are potentially harmful both for many species of flora and fauna and for humans.

Therefore, assessment of environmental safety of pesticides and risk of their application is mandatory for their development and registration [10, 15].
Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the ecotoxicological risk of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides of different chemical classes with different mechanisms of action.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
For the calculation of ecotoxicological risk, so-called ecotox, the method proposed by M.M. Melnikov was used for assessment of potential risk of fungicides, insecticides, herbicides application for ecosystems and biocenosis [11].
Mathematical modeling method that provides calculatied reproduction of process of pesticides destruction by actual data to predict their persistence was used for calculaion of half-life periods (DT50) of substances in the soil [13, 14].
For the prediction of groundwater pollution with studied pesticides, calculation of integrated vectors of hazard according to Sergeev S.G. et al. methodology was used [6]. The calculated indicator values expressed in points were used for calculation of integral vectors of groundwater contamination.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
As a result of field studies, we found that the concentration of the compounds in the soil and crops during the vegetation season was gradually decreasing and was not found at harvest. Based on the evidence on the dynamics of residual amounts of these substances in soil, the DT50 values were calculated. According to obtained data and to "Hygienic classification of pesticides and agroche-micals" State Standards 8.8.1.002-98 [16] herbicides isoxaflutole and mesotrione pertain to hazard class 4 (unstable); fungicides topramezone, fluxapyroxad, cyflufenamid, famoxadone, oxathiapiprolin and herbicide metribuzin - to class 3 (moderately stable); herbicide flufenacet and insecticides thiametho-xam, imidacloprid - to class 2 (stable) Other studied compounds - class 1 (stable).
We have calculated the ecotox values of studied substances in the agro-climatic conditions of Ukraine (table. 1). Their values range between 1,20x10"6 and 2,75 x10-1 for herbicides; between 1,18* 10-5 and 2,40* 10-3 for fungicides and between 2,79*10-3 and 1,26*10-2 for insecticides. Thus, ecotoxicological hazard of studied herbicides by (1 -6) orders of magnitude, fungicides - by (3-5) orders, insecticides -by (2-3) orders lower than DDT.
It can also be concluded that the least ecotoxic are herbicides of the last generations, then - fungicides, and the most ecotoxic are insecticides and herbicides of the old first generations (table 1).
Evaluation of hazard to the environment of test substances except for ecotoxicological hazard prediction, involves determining the potential risk of groundwater contamination in rural areas, which are widely used as a source of decentralized drinking water supply.
The integrated vectors were calculated for the prediction of groundwater pollution with test groups of pesticides. Initial data and results of GUS and Z biol.ef. calculations are shown in table 2.
The values of the indicators were expressed in points, and then integral vectors of hazard of groundwater contamination were calculated and evaluated according to a scale provided in [6]. The results are shown in table 3.
The data in table 3 indicate a high danger of groundwater contamination in the soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine with studied herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. except for mesotrione, the application of which is of danger for secondary contamination of groundwater. There is a moderate hazard of groundwater contamination with me-sotrione, which is an exception among all studied pesticides.
The high danger of groundwater contamination with topramezone, isoxaflutole, famoxadone is determined mainly by their toxicity and cumulati-veness in warm-blooded animals. Fluxapyroxad, oxathiapiprolin, imidacloprid, flufenacet, diquat have high hydrolytic stability, cyflufenamide, difenoconazole - have both characteristics.
At the same time, all of these substances, except for metribuzin, thiamethoxam, paclobutrazole, have average or low ability to migrate from the soil into groundwater. In terms of observance of hygienic standards in the soil, this allows to avoid them from getting into the soil flow.
In soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine according to GUS indeces hazard of the test substances migration from the soil into groundwater is: for metribuzin, thiamethoxam, paclobutrazole -high, topramezone and mesotrione - moderate, for the rest of substances - low. The above mentioned suggests necessity of considering migration process of metribuzin, thiamethoxam, paclobutrazole in the "soil-groundwater" system in justifying their hygiene standards in soil using calculation method.
