The SPRINT-project aims to develop a

Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox

to assess impacts of Plant Protection Products (PPPs)

on environment and human health

The SPRINT project will make an internationally valid contribution to assess integrated risks and impacts of pesticides on environment and human health, both at regional and European level. SPRINT will inform and accelerate the adoption of innovative transition pathways towards more sustainable plant protection in the context of a global health approach.

Events Calendar

From Wednesday 04 September 2024 - 08:00am
To Friday 06 September 2024 - 05:00pm

XVII SYMPOSIUM ON PESTICIDE CHEMISTRY “ADVANCES AND NEW CHALLENGES”

The Symposium will hold generic and specialist subjects relating to the environmental fate and risk, with particular reference to pesticide behaviour in air, plant, soil and water systems. Specific focus is put on the use of modelling to support regulatory and policy decision-making, measures for risk mitigation and new technologies/know how for a sustainable use.

The Symposium will cover specific topics, updating the participant with present knowledge and consolidating responsibility in the scientific community for the future needs.

The Project

logo sprint h200

SPRINT aims to develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to assess impacts of plant protection products (PPP) on ecosystem, plant, animal and human (EPAH) health.

The SPRINT method

Rings

SPRINT consists of 9 interlinked work packages. The distribution and the impacts of PPP on EPAH health will be evaluated at 11 case study sites (CSS)

Measure and Model

Measure

PPP pathways, and direct and indirect animal and human exposure routes will be assessed to improve current fate, exposure, and toxicokinetic models

Stakeholders

SPRINT is based on a multi-actor approach to engage stakeholders and identify needs, improving farmer and citizen awareness, joint development of novel strategies for reduced reliance on PPP use.
