Soil dissipation/accumulation or TFD studies
Record Type:Study
Field soil dissipation studies, sometimes known as terrestrial field dissipation (TFD) studies, are conducted to establish the transport, transformation and fate of pesticides under representative field conditions, as opposed to laboratory studies, where pesticides may dissipate at different rates. This provides vital information on formation and decline of metabolites and offers an indication of leaching potential and accumulation of residues in soil.
Dissipation studies are key requirement for regulatory bodies, including the EU. All study designs comply with OECD and EPA guidelines and EFSA and NAFTA guidance documents.
About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC.Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
