6.1 factsheet

A new factsheet from SPRINT summarises the key findings from Peter Fantke and team's project report considering the life-cycle sustainability of pesticides, looking beyond the direct effects their active ingredients have when applied to fields. The impacts of resource extraction, manufacturing, application, and waste management of pesticides and their packaging were assessed, and the results compared against alternative approaches to plant protection.

Indoor dust factsheet

Striking findings from Irene Navarro and her team on pesticide concentrations in indoor dust collected from rural households have been taken from the original paper and made into an accessible new summary factsheet.
