Milieurisico bestrijdingsmiddelen en veterinaire stoffen in mest via effecten op de voedselketen voor weidevogels

In 2019, a report was issued by Buijs en Samwel-Mantingh which claimed a possible relation between the occurrence of pesticides and veterinary drugs in manure and the decline of farmland birds, which feed on (soil) invertebrates allegedly impacted by these substances. The current research project provides an in-depth analysis of the reliability of the measured concentrations, an analysis of the potential risk to (soil) invertebrates of single compounds and mixtures and an assessment of potential pathways of these substances into the manure.
