The SPRINT-project aims to develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to assess

impacts of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) on environment and human health and to

propose several transition pathways

 


The SPRINT-project aims to develop a

Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox

to assess impacts of Plant Protection Products (PPPs)

on environment and human health

 

 

 

 

The SPRINT project will make an internationally valid contribution to assess integrated risks and impacts of pesticides on environment and human health, both at regional and European level. SPRINT will inform and accelerate the adoption of innovative transition pathways towards more sustainable plant protection in the context of a global health approach. 

Project Activities!

Interested in what we are doing within SPRINT? There will be frequent updates about for instance the WP2 sampling campain in the different Case Study Sites. But also other interesting activities such as  SPRINT plenary meetings will be announced. Click here to go to the "Project Activities".

CLOSED - Vacancy RUMC: PhD candidate SPRINT - exposure assessment

Our SPRINT partner - Radboud University Medical Center - has opened up an interesting vacancy for a motivated Ph.D. candidate!

vacancy4

Do you have an MSc in chemistry, biomedical sciences, environmental sciences or comparable ‘life or natural science’ field with an interest in kinetic modeling in the context of pharmacology and toxicology studies and risk assessment. Are you interested in contributing to the development of pesticide exposure estimates in humans and farm animals by developing and applying physiology-based biokinetic (PBK) models? Then don't hesitate any longer and apply for this PhD position.

New plenary meeting is planned

The coordination team always has something to do with such a big consortium as SPRINT. After a successful meeting in Ljubljana, it is already time to start thinking about our third plenary meeting. In consultation with our partners in Croatia, we will host the 2022 meeting there. For everyone involved in SPRINT as a consortium member: Save the date: 12-16 Sept. 2022!

Transitioning away from pesticide use: Perspectives from Slovenian organic farmers

During our recent plenary meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, we met with Toni Kukenberger, an organic dairy farmer. In this video, he explains how his farm became organic and transitioned away from pesticide reliance. He provides advice for other farmers considering doing the same and shares insights about his farming enterprise which produces milk, cheese and yoghurt.

We also spoke with Gregor Zabukovec, an organic livestock farmer in Slovenia gives an overview of why they decided to transition away from pesticide use and into organic farming. He also shares advice for farmers considering a similar transition and explains how the government could better support sustainable farming.

The Project

logo sprint h200

SPRINT aims to develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to assess impacts of plant protection products (PPP) on ecosystem, plant, animal and human (EPAH) health.

The SPRINT method

Rings

SPRINT consists of 9 interlinked work packages. The distribution and the impacts of PPP on EPAH health will be evaluated at 11 case study sites (CSS)

Measure and Model

Measure

PPP pathways, and direct and indirect animal and human exposure routes will be assessed to improve current fate, exposure, and toxicokinetic models

Stakeholders

stakeholders

SPRINT is based on a multi-actor approach to engage stakeholders and identify needs, improving farmer and citizen awareness, joint development of novel strategies for reduced reliance on PPP use.
