Reducing environmental exposure to biocides through drift during application

Description: From an environmental point of view, drift of biocidal products to non-target areas should be minimised as far as possible to reduce environmental exposure. Two research projects were commissioned by UBA to elaborate on possibilities to reduce drift to non-target areas during outdoor applications of biocidal products and to derive drift values for the exposure assessment of biocidal applications. This factsheet compiles the conclusions of UBA based on the work of the contractors. It proposes changes in environmental exposure assessment, product authorisations, public procurement and biocides legislation to enhance environmental protection.
