Biocides and the precautionary principle for the control of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aades albopictus)
The growing attention of citizens with respect to exposure to chemicals has prompted ISPRA to investigate the issue of biocidal products, in particular the use against the tiger mosquito, an insect well known for its widespread adaptation in our cities.
The publication considers the precautionary principle, which is the basis of the authorization process, and supports the need for regulation of the use in urban contexts, with mandatory certified training for professional users and restriction of the products intended for non-professional figure
