New blog post - Pesticide residues in indoor house dust: key recommendations for minimising exposure
Our latest blog post provides key messages about the presence of indoor dust in farming households, and what you can do to minimise pesticide exposure. Read the full article by clicking here.
We are pleased to share two research posters from SPRINT PhD researchers, Philipp Mäder and Erin Henry. Click the image above to read their posters!
Following the success of last year's event, SPRINT will be presenting again at this year's UN General Assembly Science Summit (UNGA 79).

When? September 16th, 09:00-11:00 (EST) = 15:00-17:00 (CET)
Where? New York and online (link to follow).
What? This session will present the impacts of pesticides on both ecosystem and human health, with a particular focus on:
1) Ecotoxicological tests on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
2) Organoid and gut microbiome studies
3) Lab-based experiments with rats and mice.
Join us to hear the latest on the impacts of pesticides on ecosystem and human health.
How does common herbicide glyphosate, and its breakdown product AMPA, affect the microbiome and human health? And what does it mean for us? Check out our new factsheet summarising our comprehensive review here.
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new SPRINT summary factsheet, which is based on a recent paper by several SPRINT partners.
This factsheet provides some key findings from the human health-related data, including from crop and indoor dust samples, with the main hazards focused on including cancer and endocrine disruption. Access the summary factsheet by clicking here.
