Environmental Risk Assessment for Veterinary Medicines
An environmental risk assessment for veterinary medicines involves evaluating how these substances may affect ecosystems when they are used in livestock or pets. This process typically includes identifying the potential for residues to enter soil, water and wildlife, assessing their persistence and breakdown, and measuring possible impacts on non-target organisms. The assessment uses scientific data and modelling to estimate exposure levels and determine whether additional risk management measures are required to protect the environment.
