Climate change and pesticides

Ecotox Centre alumnus Micha Wehrli has just published his Master's thesis on the influence of heat stress on the risk assessment of pesticides, which shows that adjustments are needed here - congratulations Micha!

Micha is now investigating the influence of climate change on the toxicity of pesticide mixtures for soil organisms in his PhD thesis, in collaboration with collaboration with Eawag, the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, the Ecotox Centre and the University of Aarhus. Complex problems require complex collaborations!
