🚨New preprint: Assessment of population exposure to pesticide applications in mainland France

🚜Using a high resolution map of pesticide use intensity, we estimated that 25% of the population was exposed to at least one pesticide application per year, with high spatial variability […]
Representation of the proportion of the population exposed to 1, 5 and 10 doses of pesticides, using Alberto Cairo's WeePeople font. Map of pesticide use intensity in France created for this study (100m resolution raster) Population exposure to pesticides by region, showing marked differences with high exposure in the West and North, and lower exposure in the South.
