POCER, the pesticide occupational and environmental risk indicator, has been developed in order to be able to quantify the health and environmental risk from the use of pesticides in agriculture. The POCER indicator is used as a decision tool to rank and choose between alternative pesticides, to evaluate the effect of certain pesticide reduction measures and to evaluate the effectiveness of policy measures. The practical use of the indicator is explained using examples.
