Collection of environmental data relevant for the exposure scenario of freshwater sediments from small edge-of-field water bodies in EU agriculture areas

bodies adjacent to agricultural fields at the EU level. The relevant data/information should be collected and analysed in line with the sediment properties considered in the current FOCUS Surface Water Scenarios (e.g. dry bulk density, organic matter, porosity). The output is designed for the refine

ment of specific scenarios to predict “realistic worst-case” exposure concentrations of plant protection products in the sediment compartment with the FOCUS tools (i.e.: TOXSWA model). The assignment will include a bibliographic search of p
