      pesticides.

AB  - Despite the fact that current-use pesticides (CUP) have different chemical 
      properties to first-generation organochlorine products, the long-term and 
      long-range environmental behavior of these chemicals is still unclear. Data for 
      45 active ingredients of CUPs were collected, most of which originate from the 
      results of simulation tests submitted for authorization. According to the 
      Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs), two of the 45 CUPs 
      exceed both screening level criteria for persistence and long-range transport 
      potential (LRTP). Thirteen CUPs meet the persistence criterion and just one for 
      LRTP. This classification is compared to the reference chemicals approach using 
      overall persistence (P(ov)) and characteristic travel distance (CTD) calculated 
      with a multimedia model. Although none of the 45 CUP have a CTD above the LRTP 
      boundary line, three of them exceed the overall persistence criterion derived 
      from legacy POPs for classification. Nineteen CUPs are transported over longer 
      distances in water than in air. For such polar substances a LRTP boundary has yet 
      to be defined. We recommend the multimedia model modeling approach to calculate 
      P(ov) and LRTP as a second tier in persistence and LRTP assessment.
