The latest addition to our series of paper summaries is out now. Recently published research by SPRINT partner Freya Debler and team forms the basis of the facsheet, which tells a striking story about the presence of pesticide residues in rural air. Most samples contained mixtures of residues, not dissimilar to what we find in food and water samples. However, unlike residues in food and water, airborne pesticide residues are not accounted for when calculating the maximum levels people can safely be exposed to day-to-day.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new paper in Environmental Research, entitled 'Pesticide residues in European sediments: A significant concern for aquatic systems?'. Stay posted for an upcoming summary factsheet!
As we enter the final year of the SPRINT project, read about our latest findings, newly published work, and upcoming events in our 7th newsletter here. Make sure you don't miss out as new results emerge from the project, by subscribing to our newsletter on the homepage to recieve project news.
We are pleased to share a suite of success story factsheets, developed as part of the SPRINT project. The factsheets provide short overviews for a wide range of initiatives from across Europe, each of which have successfully transitioned away from a reliance on synthetic pesticides for producing food and/or beverages. The factsheets are available here: success story factsheets.
SPRINT have just published a NEW summary factsheet! This resource provides an overview of the links between synthetic pesticide expsosure, gut microbiota, and brain function. This factsheet is based on a review paper written by Rie Matsuzaki and other SPRINT partners. Read the factsheet by clicking here, or check out the full peer-reviewed publication here.
