Global pesticide pollution risk data sets

Three global maps are included in this data set: the first is the pesticide risk scores map showing the exposure of agricultural land to pesticide pollution, the second is the active ingredient counts map quantifying the number of active ingredients posing pollution risk to agricultural land and showing the exposure of environment to pesticide mixtures, and the third is the regions of concern map identifying areas susceptible to pesticide pollution.

A zip folder containing an example of risk score calculation is attached together with this data set. Details of the methods used to produce these maps and the tabulated data can be found in Tang F.H.M, Lenzen M., McBratney A., and Maggi F. (2021).
