Environmental and Social Risk Analysis for Pesticides
• Pesticides are chemical substances in which the toxicological and hazard potentials have small variation (formulation and the way that is delivered to the pest-target)
• Conditions of the pesticides use is what determines the potential of exposition to the farmer, other humans, environment and natural resources.
• Risk = f(toxicology and conditions of the use)
Risk potential for pesticides
22
Elaboration Risk Analysis modelParameters proposed as main components
• Social• Sprayer (training degree, use of PPI, quality of equipment's, …)• Other worker in the forestry production (reentry interval, PPIs manage, …)• Consumer
• Environment• Toxicology for important components of the forestry biocenosis
• Birds• Beneficial arthropod (bees, natural enemies, …)• Earthworms• Soil microbial activity (CO2 soil evolution, nitrogen fixation, phosphorus
solubilization, ….)
• Natural resources• Water (groundwater and superficial)• Soil (contamination risk)
