| Popis: | Pesticides arein common use as biocides or plant protection products in almost all areaswhere people live and work. They are designed by their action to kill pests, toprotect products from damage or to raise crops for food and feed. They have bytheir nature a toxic property and are regulated by a well designed legalregulation that fills the purpose to counterbalance the desired toxic action onpests with the level of protection of human health and environment from toxicdamage by pesticides. The process of approval of active compounds and offormulated products applies technical rules to address hazardous end points andto set the conditions of tolerable use.The concept isonly as strong as the data on real use of plant protection products arecollected in a mode that enables control in a reasonable regional dimension.These data are widely missed. It is unclear whether the allowed conditions ofuse are obeyed in reality and whether the high frequency of use of products incombination or in series (cocktail effect) still meet the goal to preventdamage. Biodiversity is already strongly impaired and thus ecosystem servicesare being lost. Toxicological experties is needed to transform hazard based concepts toa risk based modus that focus on sensitive endpoints and takes into accountlong term effects that are now visible after decades of pesticide use |
