Development of an assessment methodology to evaluate agricultural use of plant protection products for drinking water production from surface waters : a proposal for the registration procedure in the Netherlands

Two tiers were developed to assess the drinking water standard of 0.1 μg/L at nine locations where surface water is abstracted to produce drinking water in the Netherlands. Two tiers were developed to assess the drinking water standard of 0.1 μg/L at nine locations where surface water is abstracted to produce drinking water in the Netherlands. In Tier I, concentrations at the abstraction points are calculated on the basis of edge-of field surface water concentrations for all crops in the intake area on which the pesticide can be used. The edge-of-field concentrations are corrected to estimate... Mehr ...
