Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecotoxicology and Risk Management

The risk management and ecotoxicological assessment of PPPs, essential to produce compliant products, poses challenges across the entire pesticide industry. This Conference brings together representatives from regulatory and industry backgrounds, as well as political decision-makers to discuss the latest regulatory developments.

Plant Protection Products (PPPs) are strictly regulated within the European Union and in abroad countries. The ECOTOX Conference keeps track of scientific progress, risk assessment methods and any crucial novelties in the ERA of PPPs and offers those navigating the regualtory landscape a supportive platform.
