Environmental risk assessment of biocides

Environmental risk assessments are required for the market authorisation of biocides by European chemical legislation according to the Biocidal Products Directive 98/8/EC (BPD). In 2009, a proposal for a new Regulation concerning the placing on the market and use of biocidal products was adopted by the European Commission. This new Regulation will repeal and replace the current Biocidal Products Directive in 2013. The new Regulation will effect the requirements for environmental risk assessments of biocides and represent a big challenge for all stakeholders in the near future.
