Risk Mitigation for the Protection of Water

The regulatory risk assessment of pesticides aims at defining the conditions of use that lead to acceptable risks and, when applied to ground water or surface, the conditions of use that guarantees that quality criteria are respected.  This may include the request for risk mitigation measures, applied to application rates or frequency, hydro/pedological criteria, application methods or farming practices. This session will cover the following aspects of risk mitigation in the area of water protection:

  • Identification and/or development of risk mitigation measures applied to ground or surface water
  • Methods to evaluate/measure the potential efficacy of novel risk mitigation measures, including modeling and monitoring
  • Approaches to routinely monitor the efficacy of risk mitigation measures implemented in the field.
