Online Training: Environmental Fate and Behaviour Evaluation of PPP in Europe

This training is designed for those with at least a basic working knowledge of environmental fate who want to explore and understand the assessment of e-fate of crop protection active substances and how this is used to build a registration under 1107/2009.

Programme: 

10:00 | Welcome address and introduction

Introduction to environmental fate processes and how these are assessed under 1107/2009

• Data requirements
• OECD studies to support data generation
• Definition of residue
• Refinement through field studies

Assessment of OECD studies to define endpoints for use in risk assessment

• Kinetic analysis (overview)
• Endpoint selection

How to assess the exposure of an active substance (exposure assessment)

• PECsoil
• Groundwater tiered assessment
• Surface water

Questions and answers

15:30 | End of the online training
