Put to the Point
With the revision of water protection legislation, non-relevant metabolites of plant protection products should also comply with the limit value of 0.1 μg/L in groundwater in the future. In this project on behalf of the Federal Office for the Environment, possible variants of an implementation of the legal regulations on non-relevant metabolites in the inflow regions of groundwater traps are to be investigated. This should result in practical specifications for the evaluation and control of PSM applications.
