EFSA Guidance Document on clustering and ranking of emissions of active substances of plant protection products and transformation products of these active substances from protected crops (greenhouses and crops grown under cover) to relevant environmental compartments

Abstract

EFSA was asked by the Commission to prepare an EFSA Guidance document on clustering and ranking of emissions of active substances of plant protection products (PPPs) and transformation products of these active substances from protected crops (greenhouses and crops grown under cover) to relevant environmental compartments. This EFSA Guidance Document provides guidance for users on how to assess these emissions when performing risk assessments according to Regulation EC no 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council.
