It has been previously shown that applied pesticides can reach
many mediums in our environment via leaching, runoff and atmospheric
drift (Coscolla et al., 2010). Still, there are large uncertainties
regarding the total fraction of applied pesticide that
does not reach its target area. Available data states that non-target
area exposure can range from a few percent up to usually 20e30
percent of applied dose, and in some cases it may even exceed 50%
