CRD - Live Online Workshop: Surface Water Exposure via Drainflow

Live Online

 

Introduction

HSE's Chemicals Regulation Division will be holding a half-day live online workshop focussing on environmental exposure of surface waters via drainflow. The workshop will present attendees with an overview of drainflow and the associated environmental fate assessments required to meet regulatory requirements in the UK.  Key issues that applicants must take into account when preparing active substance or product submissions will be highlighted.  The workshop will cover step-by-step introductions to the use of first tier and higher tier tools, including the recently released version of the MACRO 5 tool.  The workshop will comprise a mixture of presentations and live run throughs of models using worked examples covering active substances, metabolites, mixed active products, and conclude with an open question and answer session.  By the end of the workshop, participants will have a better appreciation of this area of pesticide risk assessment and be better able to prepare regulatory submissions for plant protection products.

The course will cover:

• Introduction to drainflow
• Key endpoints - the EFSA conclusion and GB Competent Authority conclusion, data gaps and critical areas of concern
• First tier drainflow - step-by-step guide and worked examples
• Higher tier drainflow - step-by-step guide using MACRO 5 and worked examples
• Presentation of higher tier MACRO modelling results and introduction to ecotox criteria
• Metabolites
• The use of the risk envelope approach
• Mixed active products
• Common problems with applications
