Division 9.4 Estimation of concentrations for other routes of exposure

Suitable estimations (calculations) of predicted environmental concentration, of active substance and metabolites, breakdown and reaction products shall be submitted unless the applicant shows that contamination will not occur in case of exposure by other routes, such as:

• deposition of dust containing plant protection products by drift during sowing,

• indirect exposure of surface water via a sewage treatment plant (STP) after application of a plant protection product in storage rooms, and

• amenity use.

PEC estimations shall relate to the maximum number and highest rates of application, at the shortest interval, for which authorisation is sought, and be relevant to the relevant environmental compartments.

The type of information to be provided shall be discussed with the F1... competent authorities.
