Appendix C: Environmental Exposure modellingAs ERMA New Zealand is unaware <strong>of</strong> locally monitored exposure concentrations, its riskassessment is based on modelling estimated environmental concentrations.Concentrations in surface waterERMA New Zealand has used <strong>the</strong> Generic Estimated Environmental Concentration Model v2(GENEEC2) surface water exposure model (USEPA 2001) to estimate <strong>the</strong> expectedenvironmental concentration (EEC) <strong>of</strong> dichlorvos in surface water which may potentially ariseas a result <strong>of</strong> spray drift and surface run<strong>of</strong>f, following wide dispersive use.The parameters used in <strong>the</strong> GENEEC2 modelling are listed in Table C.1.Table C.1:Input parameters <strong>for</strong> GENEEC2 analysis<strong>Application</strong> rate<strong>Application</strong> frequency<strong>Application</strong> intervalSee Table C2DichlorvosK d 0.41 USEPA, 1997Aerobic soil DT 50 1 day EU, 2005Pesticide wetted in?Methods <strong>of</strong> application‗No spray‘ zonenoSee Table C2noWater solubility 15 000 mg/l APVMA 2008Aerobic aquatic DT 50 1 day EU, 2005Aqueous photolysis DT 50 10.2 days USEPA, 2006ReferenceThe results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> modelling are summarised in Table C2 and <strong>the</strong> model output is shown inTable C3.Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 124 <strong>of</strong> 436
