Bringing together more than thirty influential regulators,
academics, and industry scientists, Ecological Models for
Regulatory Risk Assessments of Pesticides: Developing a Strategy
for the Future provides a coherent, science-based view on
ecological modeling for regulatory risk assessments. It discusses
the benefits of modeling in the context of registrations,
identifies the obstacles that prevent ecological modeling being
used routinely in regulatory submissions, and explores the actions
needed to overcome these obstacles. The book focuses on the
following issues: Uncertainties in the process of model
development, such as design, analysis, documentation, and
communication The availability of data and background information
needed for optimal modeling The limited knowledge of modeling The
lack of confidence in the outcome of ecological models and their
reliability in pesticide risk assessment It also suggests future
solutions to these challenges, including: A guidance document on
the modeling process Case studies that show how ecological models
can provide reliable ecologically relevant risk assessments
Training the people who generate or evaluate results obtained by
ecological models Focusing on ecological models, such as
unstructured population models, stage-structured matrix models, and
individual- or agent-based models, this volume helps regulatory
authorities, manufacturers, and scientists assess the risk of plant
protection products in nontarget organisms. Armed with this
knowledge, readers will better understand the challenges of using
ecological modeling in the regulatory process.
