Why prevent emission?
Improving or maintain water quality
Healthy aquatic system
Production of safe drinking water
Prevent loss of plant protection products (PPP’s)
European Water Framework Directive
connects water quality to PPP admitance

Surface water in the Netherlands
![Page 6: Reducing emission of pesticides to the environment in ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf0265e5df25483213e0a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“Those few droplets”
Drinking water standard: 0,1 ug = 0,0000001 gram active ingredient / Liter water
1 gram product: 20 km ditch ‘contaminated’
Ecological standard: more toxic substance = stricter standard

Emission routes: diffuse and point emission
Diffuse:
Wash out through drainage systems
Spreading through air
• Spray drift
• Evaporation
Point emission:
Often linked to the farm yard
Left overs or cleaning water with ppp’s
Field run off
Causes high peaks
![Page 10: Reducing emission of pesticides to the environment in ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf0265e5df25483213e0a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Point emissions versus total emission
In UK, Germany and Sweden
20-70% of the pesticide load comes from point sources
In UK
40% comes from filling and cleaning sites
In the Netherlands
?

Minimalising environmental impact
Legislation on allowing products on the Dutch (European) market Environmental risk assessment (models and tests)
Product specific restrictions (mainly on drift reducing techniques)
Re-registration procedure (including monitoring results)
Stimulation of Good Agricultural Practice Regulation of crop free buffer strips
Mandatory sprayer inspections
Spraying license, with frequent training
Collection and processing of empty containers
Regulation on waste water (e.g. from cleaning sprayer)

Emission from glasshouses
Problematic in many old and modern greenhouses
Emission risks
Drainage water!
Condensation water
Used substrate

Emissions from glass houses
Solutions (under development)
Better water source / more rain water storage
(Optimised) recirculation through water treatment
Purification (oxidation / carbon filtration) of waste water before emission to surface water or sewage system
![Page 38: Reducing emission of pesticides to the environment in ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012809/61bf0265e5df25483213e0a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Rinsing harvested product: leek, flower bulbs…
Reduce water volume and optimise recirculation
First dry cleaning (leek)
Enlarge water bassin (dirt settles at bottom)
Remove fungal spores (settlement or oxidation)
