Abstract
Humic substances as natural biogeochemical macromolecules have been formed over tens of millions of years as a result of the processes of natural destruction of biological systems with a high degree of chemical diversity. The prospects and realities of today’s use of humic substances by humans in agriculture, pharmaceuticals and medicine raise the issue of strict safety control of various drugs derived from these natural substances. These technologies for the extraction and purification of final humic preparations should be carried out in accordance with the balanced development of natural ecosystems and biosafety requirements. In this publication we raise the issue of creating a single standard for the quality and safety of purified humic substances on a global scale.
