ENASGIPS

ENASGIPS is a component of an OECD project to maximize the use of pesticide field dissipation studies by developing harmonized international guidance for conducting the studies and identifying comparable North American and European Ecoregions... Pesticide regulatory agencies/departments world-wide require data on pesticide field dissipation/accumulation to determine "what happens to a pesticide when it is used according to label directions in a representative use area and when all the factors of transformation and transport are acting together". Studies should account for total dissipation, i.e., transformation, persistence, leaching, carryover, surface transport, volatilization, plant uptake, transformation products, etc., and also identifies the major dissipation routes... Under global joint reviews as well as national reviews, field dissipation/accumulation data from studies conducted in foreign countries are submitted to regulatory agencies/departments, with a request to consider..
