TOXSWA in Dutch registration

TOXSWA v1.2 is used in the Dutch pesticide registration procedure for first and higher-tier exposure assessments. Higher-tier exposure assessments include the interpretation of field studies for pesticide registration as well as the interpretation of water-sediment studies to determine transformation rates in water and in sediment. TOXSWA v1.2 can simulate the input of pesticides via spray drift only.

Projects

  • Maintenance and improvement of the TOXSWA model to support its use by the Dutch Board for the Authorizaton of Pesticides and Biocides(Ctgb) and phytopharmoceutical industries.
  • Further development of the TOXSWA model, including its user interface, consisting of e.g. improved pesticide process descriptions, hydrology or coupling to entry route models.
  • Development of methods to consider regional variation for the calculation of PECs, with special attention to the degradation rate of pesticides in different aquatic systems.
