Overview Research

The Laboratory of Crop Protection Chemistry, as part of the department

of Crop Protection is particularly experienced in the study of pesticide

residues in crops and environmental samples (soil, water and air) and

the study of side effects of pesticide treatments.

impact of pesticides on the environment and human (consumer)

• 10 componenten– risico voor blootstelling:

• pesticide toepasser• veldarbeider• toeschouwer (“bystander”)

– risico voor het milieu:• persistentie• grondwater• waterorganismen• vogels• regenwormen

– risico voor nuttige organismen (IPM):• bijen• nuttige arthropoden
