Biocidal products as mixtures
• Often combinations of two or more active substances- to increase efficacy, decrease potential for resistance
• Additives (solvents, colouring agents etc.)- may or may not be “substances of concern”

‹#›
Biocides as environmental mixtures
• High use - estimated global use 330,000 tonnes active substances per year- market estimated to 25% of market value for agricultural pesticides
• Many uses means many exposure routes to the environment- STPs, land run-off, leaching, direct application in the environment
• Many different active substances- around 300 substances in the Review Program
• Often persistent or semi-persistent

Biocides legislation on mixtures
Directive 98/8/EC and the upcoming new Regulation
• An overall assessment for the biocidal product itself(active substance(s) + substance(s) of concern)
• Taking into account synergistic effects
• Taking into account cumulative effects

Biocides legislation on mixtures
Glossary
• Synergistic effects- legislative: combination effects- scientific: higher than expected effects
• Cumulative effects- effects from combined exposure to the same substance used in different products

Mixture assessments: How to do it?
• Direct testing of the product or comparison to similar mixtures
• Component based approach
![Page 10: Joint Research Centre (JRC) Tobias Porsbringsesss04.setac.eu/embed/sesss04/Tobias_Porsbring.pdfContent of presentation • Biocides as mixtures • Biocides legislation on mixtures](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/61245a04652c5e5d4c6f446a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
‹#›
Direct test with mixture
• The product itself “straight out of the can”
• Leachate (e.g antifouling paint, wood water storage)
Incorporates the full chemical complexity of the product
…but can only cover the initial release stage

Component based approach
- Prediction of the mixture toxicity
Taking into account
• The effects and concentrations of the mixture constituents
• A plausible assumption on their combined toxicity
![Page 13: Joint Research Centre (JRC) Tobias Porsbringsesss04.setac.eu/embed/sesss04/Tobias_Porsbring.pdfContent of presentation • Biocides as mixtures • Biocides legislation on mixtures](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062610/61245a04652c5e5d4c6f446a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
‹#›
Component based approach
• Circumvents testing
• Can be prospective
• If effect and exposure data on the single compounds are available, any mixture can be assessed!

Concentration Addition (CA)
• Reference for the joint toxicity of chemicals with a similar mechanism of action
• Each single chemical contributes to the overall toxicity in relation to its concentration and potency
• Each chemical contributes to a joint effect, even if present at a concentration low enough to not provoke an effect on its own

‹#›
Independent Action (IA)
• Reference for the joint toxicity of chemicals with dissimilar mechanisms of actions
• Probabilistic: taking into account that a chemical in the mixture has a certain probability to exert an effect of a certain magnitude
• Only chemicals present in concentrations high enough to provoke an effect on their own contribute to a joint effect

‹#›
Ecotoxicological experience with CA and IA
• Even for mixtures of dissimilarly acting substances, CA and IA predicts roughly equal mixture toxicities (within a factor of 5)
• CA typically predicts a higher mixture toxicity than IA
• IA requires low effect data for the individual substances as input
• CA can be used with only e.g. EC50 values

Extrapolation “Biochemical MoA” to “Ecological MoA”

Extrapolation “Biochemical MoA” to “Ecological MoA”
• Protection goals and ecologically relevant effects and MoA-targets are high-order ones; reproduction, activity, community and ecosystem species structure and function
• Considerable knowledge gaps on chemicals´ MoAs and effects with respect to these issues
Extrapolation of chemicals´ grouping according to MoA on a biochemical level is probably extremely difficult

• Not possible to group chemicals according to mode of action similarity/dissimilarity in the environment
• A major knowledge gap is mode of action information

cypermethrin (insecticide; sodium channel modulator)
+piperonyl butoxide (“intentional” synergist)
and/or
propiconazole (fungicide; inhibitor of sterols biosynthesis)

Summary• The use of a concentration additive approach supported by

Outlook
On October 4 EP voted for this amendment to BPR Article 8.3 “Evaluation of applications”:
“Where the evaluating competent authority considers that there are concerns with regard to the cumulative effects from the use of biocidal products containing the same active substance, or different substances with similar or common effects on the same endpoints, whether by the same or different mechanism of action, it shall document its concerns … and include this as part of its conclusions.”
