Possible Approach for Developing Data To Estimate Leaching Rates of Biocidal Active Substances From Antifouling Coating Films

The purpose of this document is to outline various approaches used to estimate leaching rates of antifouling products. The leaching rate of biocides from antifouling products is one of the most important parameters to estimate the emission of antifoulants in an environmental risk assessment and the environmental impact of these products.
