Identifying pesticide mixtures at country-wide scale by Cairo, Milena, Monnet, Anne-Christine, Robin, Stéphane, Porcher, Emmanuelle, Fontaine, Colin

“…Overall, our analyses return (1) sets of molecules that are likely to be part of the same pesticide mixtures, for which synergetic effects should be investigated further and (2) areas within which biodiversity might be exposed to similar mixture composition. This information will hopefully be of interest for future ecotoxicological studies to characterise the actual impacts of pesticide cocktails on biodiversity in the field.…”
