HAIR - HArmonised environmental indicators for pesticide Risk ( )
Deliverables:
~50 indicators: terrestrial, aquatic, groundwater, consumers, workers.
Integrated software
Data bases: climate, soil, land-use, toxicity and eco-toxicity, pesticide use
FOOTPRINT - Functional Tools for Pesticide Risk Assessment and Management ( )
3 Tools:
FOOT-NES: risk assessment at large scale (EU and MS)

7. Pesticide Risk Indicators
Arcadis 2008:
Contract with Arcadis Belgium to test HAIR indicators
Main conclusions:
Most indicators are reliable
Software requires further IT developments
Data bases need to be consolidated
Use data needed
Further developments
JRC: quick method to screen spacial distribution in soils and load to surface water
Eurostat – DG ENV: further development of IT tools to integrate different risk approaches.
