Summary: Standard scenarios increase the consistency of the regulatory evaluation process by minimizing the subjective influence when performing the pesticide environmental concentration - PEC calculation, also make interpretation much easier and enable the adoption of a consistem scientific process for a Tier 1 evaluation (FOCUS, 2000). The brazilian lnstitute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) adopts the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) methodology (IBAMA. 2016), using the "standard farm pond" scenario (Parker et al., 1995) for surface water in the Tier 1 evaluation and, therefore, it may lead to the registration of pesticides without considering brazilian agricultural scenarios in environmental risk assessment - ERA.
