The European Commission asked EFSA to revise the risk assessment for honey bees, bumble bees and solitary bees. This guidance document describes how perform from plant protection products, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1107/2009. It is a review of EFSA's existing document, which was published 2013. outlines tiered approach exposure estimation different scenarios tiers. includes hazard characterisation provides methodology covering dietary contact exposure. also recommendations higher...
Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR) developed an opinion state of art Toxicokinetic/Toxicodynamic (TKTD) models use in prospective environmental risk assessment (ERA) for pesticides aquatic organisms. TKTD are species- compound-specific can be used to predict (sub)lethal effects under untested (time-variable) exposure conditions. Three different types described, viz., (i) 'General Unified Threshold Survival' (GUTS), (ii) those based...
According to Directive 2008/105/EC (the Environmental Quality Standards Directive, EQSD), a new mechanism is needed provide high-quality monitoring information on the concentrations of polluting substances in aquatic environment across EU. The aim this support identification priority for regulation under Water Framework Directive. A restricted number (up 10) are be included dynamic Watch List, remaining there limited time. Three compounds, i.e. diclofenac, 17-beta-estradiol (E2), and...
A systematic review from the Cochrane Collaboration stated that alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) may help in management of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Because all data on ALA came a single group, it has been stressed its effectiveness should be reproduced other populations.A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, including two test groups (Group and Group B) one control group C), was carried out to evaluate efficacy systemic (400 mg) plus vitamins treatment BMS.Sixty-six patients (54...
Acetamiprid is a pesticide active substance with insecticidal action currently under the third renewal (AIR3) of Commission implementing regulation (EU) No 844/2012. Following concerns that this may pose high risks to humans and environment, French authorities asked restrict its uses Article 69 Regulation (EC) 1107/2009. To support request, competent Authorities from France cited series literature papers investigating hazards and/or exposure environment. Consequently, EFSA PPR Panel was...
Pre-market/prospective environmental risk assessments (ERAs) contribute to analyses performed facilitate decisions about the market introduction of regulated stressors. Robust ERAs begin with an explicit problem formulation, which involves among other steps: (1) formally devising plausible pathways harm that describe how deployment a stressor could be harmful; (2) formulating hypotheses likelihood and severity such events; (3) identifying information will useful test hypotheses; (4)...
The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review initial risk assessments carried out by competent authorities rapporteur Member State United Kingdom and co-rapporteur Greece for pesticide active substance mancozeb are reported. context was that required Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. were reached on basis evaluation representative uses as a fungicide wheat (winter/spring), grapevine, potatoes tomatoes. reliable end points, appropriate use in regulatory assessment...
Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following peer review initial risk assessments carried out by competent authorities rapporteur Member State, Belgium, and co‐rapporteur Austria, for pesticide active substance lenacil are reported. context was that required Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended 2018/1659. were reached on basis evaluation representative uses a herbicide sugar fodder beet (field use). reliable end points,...
