"An integrated pesticides risk assessment tool has been developed (POCER2 model). This tool offers the possibility to take into account social values through the weights attributed to different environmental compartments that are considered (men, groundwater, etc), but no participatory actions or methodology were implemented to obtain these weights from citizens, so this possibility has not been used in the model."
