Health impact and damage cost assessment of pesticides in Europe

► We quantify human health impacts from exposure to pesticides applied in Europe. ► We include an uncertainty analysis along the full impact pathway. ► Only 13 pesticides applied to three crop types account for 90% of health impacts. ► Overall health impacts sum up to 2.6 h of lifetime lost per person in Europe. ► Uncertainty is mainly due to extrapolated effect data and degradation in crops.
