Rationale <strong>for</strong> higher tier modeling<br />

• Med-<strong>Rice</strong> (2003) guidance provides a standardized<br />

methodology <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Step 1 assessment of rice<br />

pesticides in <strong>the</strong> <strong>EU</strong> registration process.<br />

• Predicted concentrations in paddy water (PEC PW ), paddy soil<br />

(PEC SOIL ), receiving canal water (PEC SW ) and canal sediment<br />

(PEC SED ) are calculated via a spreadsheet tool.<br />

• A number of simplifying assumptions are made and some<br />

processes are omitted.
