Developing realistic exposure scenarios for environmental risk rssessment of pesticides in Brazil: surface water

Standard scenarios increase the consistency of the regulatory evaluation process by minimizing the subjective influence when performing the pesticide environmental concentration - PEC calculation, also make interpretation much easier, and enable the adoption of a consistent scientific process for a Tier 1 evaluation (FOCUS, 2000). The Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) adopts the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) methodology (IBAMA, 2016), using the ?standard farm pond? scenario (Parker et al., 1995) for surface water in the Tier 1 evaluation, and, therefore, it may lead to the registration of pesticides without considering Brazilian agricultural scenarios in environmental risk assessment - ERA.
