Mesocosm experiments in the approval procedure for pesticides

Table 13.
Overview of raw data from the database for the PLS models developed for microalgae (phytoplankton & periphytes). See Table 2 for abbreviations used. For Sediment 1 refer to sediment present in mesocosm, 0 to no sediment; Macrophytes: 1 = present, 0 = no macrophytes; Field/lab: 1 = Field study, 0 = Laboratory study. For all microalgal groups tested the lowest effect concentrations observed in each mesocosms experiment were used as Y variables, expressing the toxic response of the organisms in the mesocosms (values shown in bold). L = Laboratory study at controlled temperature and light availability (hence latitude and longitude not relevant); - = no data. See Annex B for literature references.
