Abstract
In the EU-FP7-BROWSE project (Bystanders, Residents, Operators and WorkerS Exposure
models for plant protection products) spray drift data measured in the Netherlands and the UK
for orchard spraying are combined to develop a probabilistic empirical model of bystander
and resident exposure to spray drift. The model requires data relating to airborne spray to
determine dermal and inhaled exposure, and relating to ground deposits, to determine indirect
dermal exposure to contaminated ground. The available data can discriminate between full leaf
(BBCH 74¿92), the intermediate periods (BBCH 61¿73 and 93¿0) and the dormant (BBCH
0¿60) period. For the BROWSE model, reference curves are defined for axial and cross-flow
fan sprayers for ground deposit and airborne drift for 0¿1 m and 0¿2 m heights above ground
as functions of distance downwind.
