3. Aims of Project
PEST-MAN aims to:
(1) understand the drivers and pressures for the use of
pesticides in the environment
(2) examine their fate and persistence
(3) evaluate any potential impact and risks to the environment
and human health
(4) develop a low-cost, passive, in-situ method to remediate
pesticides in the environment, and
(5) disseminate knowledge and engage stakeholders and the
general public
3/24
4. Methodological Framework
Drivers â social, economic, environmental
Pressures â caused by the Drivers
State â Pressures/Drivers impact the state of the environment
Impacts â the State impacts ecosystem services
Responses â may be taken to address the impacts

Pathway
Receptor
Examining Drivers
and Pressures for
use of pesticides
Persistence, fate, interactions
and cumulative effects of
pesticides.
Interactions between
pesticides and soil type,
residence time/travel time,
land use
Understanding Impacts on
State of surface and
groundwater
Responses that aim to
minimize negative
impacts:
- Stream monitoring
- Intervention in stream
with suitable media
Human Health impacts
of pesticide use

6. Work Package 1
Identifying pesticides, understanding drivers and pressures
Objective:
âą To identify pesticides of concern for human health
âą To elucidate the pressures and drivers for pesticide use in
Ireland
âą To identify pesticides for examination in this study
Deliverable:
Literature review on pesticide use in Ireland; Identification of key
pesticides of concern; Identification of study catchments
Methodological Framework
6/24
7. Work Package 2
Pathways of pesticides in the rural and urban environment
Objective:
âą Ascertain the effect of the soil environment
on pesticide persistence
âą Determine if the pathway from soil to water
sources occurs via leaching or surface runoff
âą Identify the influence of pesticides on soil
quality, incl. microbial diversity
Deliverable:
Data on adsorption of pesticides to various soil textures
Papers on leaching and runoff potential of pesticides
Methodological Framework
7/24
8. Work Package 3
Receptors: response and intervention to mitigate impact
Objective:
âą Identification of appropriate media for pesticide
adsorption and design of passive treatment
units at lab and field-scale
âą Health risk assessment of impacted populations
and quantification of reduction in risk arising
from our inverventions
Deliverable:
Design and implementation of a passive
treatment unit; Human health risk assessment
Methodological Framework
8/24
9. Work Package 4
Engagement of stakeholders and the general public
Objective:
âą To engage stakeholders and general public
âą To disseminate the study results
Deliverable:
Development of network through collaboration and meetings
Methodological Framework
9/24
10. Work Package 5
Project Management
Objective:
âą Management of the project
âą To deliver the project on time and on budget
âą Dissemination of the results to scientific and non-scientific
audiences
Deliverable:
Submission of technical and financial reports, conference
attendance, etc.

We will focus on the top 3 â 4 pesticides,
taking into account:
- Budget and logistical considerations
- Previous data on pesticide use at the
field sites
