Effects of pesticides on amphibians and reptiles
The Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues has investigated the coverage of the risk to amphibians and reptiles provided by risk assessments for other vertebrate groups. The experts have also reviewed available test methods and exposure models with regard to their applicability to amphibians and reptiles.
In a draft scientific opinion launched for public consultation the Panel proposes that a specific environmental risk assessment scheme should be developed for these two groups.
Interested parties can submit comments up to 24 May 2017.
