p-EMA (III): overview and application of a software system designed to assess the environmental risk of agricultural pesticides

Abstract: A new risk assessment system for pesticides has been developed for use by a wide variety of end-users from agronomists to farmers. This system replaces the old, predominately hazard-based approach that was originally used by the UK's EMA software package. The approach adopted is consistent with current regulatory assessments but adjustments are made to reflect the local conditions and the environmental costs and benefits of varying management practices. This paper presents an overview of the software and provi… Show more

“…A toxicity database was compiled for all pesticides registered for use in the United Kingdom, comprising median effective concentrations (EC50s) for D. magna (48-h EC50 for immobilization) and algae (5-d EC50 for inhibition of growth). The p-EMA (pesticide module within the Environmental Management for Agriculture software) database [15] was used as a base, with gaps filled from the Agritox and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency databases (http://www.inra.fr/agritox and http:// www.epa.gov/ecotox, respectively). Data were not available for a small number of compounds, and in the present study, the toxicity value was set to the value for the pesticide from the same group with the closest structural similarity.…”

“…The model performance thus depends on the input data that drives the model behaviour. Overviews on advanced pesticide fate models have been published by Parsons et al (2001), Nolan et al (2005), Simunek et al (1998), Jantunen et al (2005 and Lewis et al (2003). Dubus and Surdyk (2006) summarised the further needs in pesticide fate modelling as:…”
