SYBERAC Case Studies

The SYBERAC work package 2 (WP2), led by the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), conducts case studies to advance the understanding of chemical risks in real settings.

Case Study 1 – Cumulative exposure of wildlife to PPP in an agricultural system (winter cereals)

Case Study 2 – Pollutant transfer and effects in the interface between aquatic and terrestrial environments

Case Study 3 – Food chain exposure and related effects across spatial scales in a migratory bird

Case Study 4 – Fate and risk management of multiple chemicals of emerging concern

Case Study 5 – Plant protection product (PPP) effects on soil biodiversity and on ecosystem function of soil invertebrate community

Case Study 6 – Pressure of pollutants transported from emission sources into nature-protected areas
