5 Leaching risk GeoPEARLcalculates the nominal leaching concentration C L based on a regression equation, with the regression terms depending on compound properties and soil data for each application (i) of an active ingredient at a soil depth of 1 m. C Li nominal leaching concentration (µg dm -3 ) NSDF i net soildepositionfraction AR application rate (kg a.i./ha) DWC drinking water criterion (0.1 µg/l) i index denoting the application event number no RI groundwater < 1 yes RI groundwater > 1 Risk assassment with SYNOPS-WEB in PURE SYNOPS-WEB usedasenvironmental risk indicator in most work pakages.

Input data can be stored on server, edited and exported a XMLfile. Simple user interface to enter application scenarios. The user can enter and save a number of various field sites and application scenarios and calculate the aquatic and terrestrial risk potentials. SYNOPS-WEB can be used to plan and analyze new and innovative strategies, e.g. IPM strategies for specific fields with the focus on risk reduction The web service SYNOPS-WEB can also be used by other tools directly integrating it in the code. Export results in form of XML-Files, which can be used in to other PURE tools (DEXiPM, Premise) or upload to PURE database. 16
