Description
Shaorong Chen and Zijian Li present a protocol in a 2026 paper for judging pesticide risk to tropical wildlife. Pesticides move through food chains and harm animals, yet direct measurements in wildlife are scarce in the tropics. Their method fills the gap with a body-process model that estimates exposure from soil, plant, and tissue data.
The steps run from gathering data and scoring regional contamination to three tiers of exposure estimates, then to risk calculation, mapping, and uncertainty checks. Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are each covered. A traceable, map-based protocol lets agencies act on thin data rather than wait for perfect monitoring.
