S-metolachlor: moving towards a ban on the main uses to preserve groundwater quality

ANSES undertook an expert appraisal on the risk of groundwater contamination by the herbicidal substance S-metolachlor and its metabolites. The appraisal showed that the estimated concentrations of the three metabolites metolachlor-ESA, metolachlor-OXA and metolachlor-NOA in groundwater are above the quality limit set by European legislation. To preserve the quality of water resources, ANSES is initiating a procedure to withdraw authorisation of the main uses of plant protection products containing S-metolachlor.
