Translation of "exposure to attack by mammal " (English → French) :

Exposure to attack by amphibian

Exposure to attack by reptile

Potential exposure of bystanders and residents to pesticides via the air might constitute an exposure route, which needs further attention by research and possibly also regulatory measures. Risks to human health and the environment consist of acute and/or chronic adverse effects on humans and on non-target species. Acute effects are mainly due to the high toxicity of certain PPPs. Chronic effects which might also affect the fitness of exposed populations include those due to bioaccumulation and persistence of substances, irreversible effects such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and genotoxicity, or adverse effects on the immune or endocrine s ...[+++]ystems of mammals, fishes or birds. It has to be noted that so far no active substance, which is classified in category I for any of these effects, has been included in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC, certainly not if such effects are to be expected at environmental concentrations and exposure conditions.

In addition, many companies are not willing to report cases of computer abuse, to avoid bad publicity and exposure to future attacks.

Commission Directive 2006/74/EC (2) included triclopyr as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3), under the condition that the Member States concerned ensure that the notifier at whose request triclopyr was included in that Annex provide further confirmatory information on the risk assessment on acute and long-term exposure for birds and mammals and the risk to aquatic organisms from exposure to the metabolite 6-chloro-2-pyridinol.

In order to minimise the exposure of birds and mammals, it is, however, appropriate to amend the conditions of use of this active substance, in particular by restricting its use.
