We are pleased to announce our first 'ask the author' webinar! During these sessions, you will have the opportunity to hear more about our research and to ask our scientists questions about their work! Our first webinar will be presented by Dennis Knuth and Vera Silva of Wageningen University & Research. They will share findings from a recent paper about pesticide residues in organic and conventional agricultural soils across our European case study sites. Read the related factsheet here.

We are pleased to share another factsheet! This summary provides an overview of our research which has explored potential crop protection strategies for reducing reliance on synthetic pesticides. Click on the image above to read it.
New blog post - Pesticide residues in indoor house dust: key recommendations for minimising exposure
Our latest blog post provides key messages about the presence of indoor dust in farming households, and what you can do to minimise pesticide exposure. Read the full article by clicking here.
Our latest summary factsheet is now available!
This factsheet outlines key findings on pesticide residues in sediments collected from 38 water bodies across eight European countries. It highlights that 99 different pesticide residues were detected, including glyphosate, AMPA, and DDTs, with 27 residues no longer approved for use. These findings raise concerns about the persistent impact of both current and historical pesticides on aquatic ecosystems, particularly affecting species like fish and amphibians. The study underscores the need for sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate environmental pollution. Click here to read the factsheet.
