Table 29.

Elements of the exposure assessment goal for individual juvenile or adult amphibians (SPG: no mortality) in their terrestrial environment (in‐crop)

Element Description Remarks
EREQ See Table 30
Temporal dimension of EREQ See Table 30
Spatial unit (SU), type and size (if relevant) Individual amphibians This implies that each individual amphibian has its own in‐crop exposure depending, e.g. on migration day with respect to application day
Statistical population of SUs All individual amphibians in all treated agricultural fields (generally around 1 to 5–10 ha) in area of use of substance Risk managers may also opt for the alternative of all individuals in all agricultural fields grown with the crop on the pesticide label
Multiyear temporal statistical population of EREQ values for one spatial unit Series of tens of years of annual maxima of EREQ of individual amphibians in years of treatment
Desired spatio‐temporal percentile of the statistical population of EREQ values Overall 90th percentile of the statistical population of each EREQ Percentile can easily be changed if needed
