Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (PiE) group
How often since April 2023 the group has met, and be provided spectrally with information relating to insecticides in the environment and UK surface waters from dog flea/tick treatments. These would include Imidacloprid and Fipronil, and others. I would be grateful for agenda, minutes and any further reports which PiE has considered.
