Abstract

The Environmental Impact Quotients (EIQ) was calculated at 3 sites from 2002 to 2004 and the results were not correlated with application number and amount of active ingredients used. The EIQ values were found very different from year to year. Generally, the EIQ values were lower at the sites Odemis and Tire in comparison to Nazilli. The risk for non-human biota related to EIQ was higher than EIQ values for farmworkers and consumers.
