In 2007, a project entitled �Study on Pesticide Ecological Risk Assessment and Risk Management� was sponsored by Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences (NIES). The aim of this project was to develop a set of pesticide eco-risk assessment approaches for China. To achieve the goal, the three most important parts of pesticide eco-risk assessment including procedures and methods, exposure assessment techniques and risk management framework were studied. Through five years of work, the project was successfully completed with many outcomes and tools developed to directly facilitate the pesticide eco-risk assessment practices in the country. The most significant results include the development of the basic procedures for different protection goals, the pesticide risk assessment exposure simulation shell (PRAESS) which integrates three sets of environmental fate models and six Chinese scenarios, the risk classification criteria and risk management procedures for China. The outputs of the project will provide technical support for pesticide management in China.
