The scientists behind the models listed on this website come from Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR), the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL). They have developed various models for the evaluation of the environmental fate of plant protection products. These models have an international reputation for high quality and are used for registration of plant protection products on an European and national level. Moreover, scientists of Wageningen UR have developed software tools to assess the ecological effects of plant protection products in the environment and the potential environmental impact of plant protection products used in Dutch agriculture.
