National Scenarios – Norway. Introduction of national scenarios for approval of new pesticides in Norway

Abstract

This is a final report for the project Norwegian Scenarios from the periods 1999-2002 and 2005- 2008, mainly focusing on the simulations done with the models MACRO and PRZM. The aim of this project was to improve the risk assessment work in Norway by establishing surface- and groundwater scenarios which could be representative for Norwegian conditions and to later use these for approval of new pesticides. This project has been a cooperation between Bioforsk Plantehelse, Norwegian University of Life Sciences and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
