Abstract
Plant protection products are applied in agriculture and horticulture in areas that may be accessible to the public. This means that individuals might be exposed who are not actively involved in the application of these products. The individual may be temporarily located in the vicinity of the application (the so-called ‘bystander’) or working or living in the vicinity of the application (the so-called ‘resident’). In this guidance paper scenarios for the evaluation of exposure associated with plant protection product application for bystanders and for residents (including children) are described.
