Dataset containing estimated emissions of 152 active substances at NUTS2 spatial level. It contains estimates for active substances belonging to one of the main groups: Fungicides and Bactericides, Herbicides, Insecticides and Acaricides, Plant growth regulators, Molluscicides, Other plant protection products. The estimation has been carried out independently for each active substance on the basis of data provided by 8 EU Member States on sales of active ingredients. The spatial resolution and extent of the analysis corresponded at the regional level NUTS3 for Europe. The estimates have been developed for application in assessing the risk of toxicity in European waters caused by the application of pesticides in the agricultural sector and to answer a wide-range of policy questions, including policies related to best riparian basin and agricultural management practices. The dataset include the prediction of active ingredient use (kilograms) per region, the common name, the CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service Council number identifier), the CIPAC (Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council number identifier), the ID_EUPDB (identifier in the European Union Database of pesticides) and the Chemical Class for each active substance.
