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. 

CLOSED - Post-doc position - University of Bern

Do you have experience with stakeholder assessment and organizing workshops? Do you have a strong research interest in pesticides and their implication on health? Do you have an enthusiastic and highly-motivated attitude? Then the University of Bern might be looking for you!

SPRINT explainer video

This explainer video introduces viewers to the EU-H2020 funded SPRINT project. The aim of the project is to develop a Global Health Risk Assessment Toolbox to assess the impacts of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) on the environment and human health. We will then use this to inform regulators and help farmers/landowners transition towards more sustainable pesticide use.

CLOSED - Postdoc position: Integrated Risk Assessment of Pesticides

JOB OPPORTUNINTY

SPRINT is searching for an experienced, multidisciplinary, innovative and highly motivated scientist to join our team at Masaryk University, Czech Republic. 

The research topic is “integrated risk assessment of pesticides”, combining environmental chemistry and modelling, toxicology and ecotoxicology, geographical information systems, crop protection and pesticides, databases and big-data processing, human health risks assessment and ecological risk assessment. The prospective scientist will develop tools for the integrated risk assessment of pesticides from the national to European level. He or she will elaborate large data on plant protection products use and properties, model and predict their inputs to the environment, their fate and distribution, their exposure, effects, impacts and risks.

Learn more about this exciting opportunity and apply here.

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.
