Information is required on pesticide risk indicators used in Europe in order to optimize their use to reduce the environmental impact of pesticides. The present study was performed to compare and evaluate eight pesticide risk indicators developed in Europe and to give recommendations for further use and harmonization of these risk indicators. This paper is based on the results of the CAPER project (concerted action on pesticide risk indicators).
