Biocides

Le programme de l'OCDE sur les biocides a deux objectifs principaux : (1) accroître l'efficacité de l’homologation des biocides, (2) aider les pays à réduire les risques liés à l'utilisation des biocides. Les biocides sont des produits chimiques qui ont pour action de détruire les organismes non désirés (par exemple les stérilisants, les désinfectants).

OECD published a new Emission Scenario Document (ESD) which is intended to provide information to be used for risk assessment for active substances and products used as biocidal (i.e. non agricultural) insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods. It describes methods for estimating emissions of these products, excluding the insecticide treatments for vector control. Users are encouraged to provide updated information for its continuous development.
