Exposure to PFOA and PFOS and fetal growth: a critical merging of toxicological and epidemiological data
Toxicological and epidemiological evidence on the association between perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and birth/fetal weight was assessed. An extensive search for toxicological information in rats and mice, and a systematic search for epidemiological evidence were conducted.…
OpenCompilation of a database, specific for the pesticide active substance and their metabolites, comprising the main genotoxicity endpoints
The terminal residues of pesticide active substances in food and feed commodities need to be duly identified following the requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. This information is necessary to derive the…

OpenDrift calculator + mitigation
This tool replicates the features of the FOCUS Drift Calculator on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. It allows to include some mitigation measures in the calculation of PECsw of an a.s./PPP resulting from drift events
OpenToxicological data collection and analysis to support grouping of pesticide active substances for cumulative risk assessment of effects on the nervous system, liver, adrenal, eye, reproduction and development and thyroid system
EFSA and the PPR Panel have started in 2007 the development of methodologies to carry out cumulative risk assessment for Maximum Residue Levels setting which implies the establishment of cumulative assessment groups (CAGs) of pesticidal active substances on the basis…
OpenMethodology for spatial analysis of pesticide residue monitoring data in surface water
The Directive 2009/128/CE of European Parliament and Council on Sustainable Use of Pesticides introduced a community action framework to protect the Environment of the EU and requested Member States to implement policies and actions in order to reduce the risk…
