Abstract
Registration of pesticides on the European market requires a risk assessment of groundwater contamination following guidelines of the FOCUS workgroup. Nine worst-case standard FOCUS scenarios representing different soil types and climatic conditions are developed for Europe. In this study, the pertinence of standard FOCUS scenarios for Belgian conditions is evaluated and more specific scenarios are developed for each agricultural region using local information on soil and climate.
