N2 - In 2009, the European Union adopted the Directive
on Sustainable Use of pesticides (SUD, Directive 2009/128/
EC) establishing a framework for achieving a sustainable use
of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) through reducing the risks
and impacts of PPP use on human health and the environment,
promoting integrated pest management and stimulating effective
non-chemical alternatives. The core idea of the SUD is
that it is necessary to monitor the use of PPPs through the
implementation of an appropriate set of risk indicators to monitor
progress and trends in risk reduction within the Member
States. To contribute to this direction, following a comprehensive
analysis of the risk (including procedures of risk assessment
and risk management) and involving stakeholders in the
decision process, specific toolboxes of practical indirect risk
indicators of exposure of Operators,Workers, Bystanders and
Residents were developed and are now available to be used by
Member States (MSs) based on their specific context.
