You can now watch the recording of our February webinar in which our researchers present the SPRINT Toolbox: our practical resource to support more realistic risk assessments of pesticides.
Watch the webinar here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lhtqUy1mhk&t=128s
The SPRINT Toolbox contains a collection of pesticide mapping tools, assessment tools, models and extensive European and Argentinian data from the SPRINT project.
Its tools include:
- Pesticide concentration and ecological risk maps at the field, national and European level that indicate where pesticides may be putting ecosystems under pressure.
- Estimates of potential dietary exposure to pesticides for humans and farm animals Health Impact Assessments of pesticides - how we assessed the potential health effects of a pesticide policy, programme or project before it is implemented
- Models to estimate pesticide emissions, fate and exposure, including SPRINT’s SWIPPE (wind-erosion model for particle-phase pesticides) model to calculate downwind concentrations of particle-phase pesticides.
- Pesticide monitoring data from 11 case study sites in Europe and Argentina, showing the pesticide residues we detected in the environment, humans and animals
- Our toxicity and ecotoxicity results, including how we assessed mixtures of concern.
