How toxic are new biotechnological pesticides?

Beskrivelse

Aalborg University's Jeppe Lund Nielsen is part of a research consortium, ENSAFE, investigating the environmental impact of biotechnological pesticides. These pesticides, made of RNA and peptide molecules, are believed to be less harmful than conventional chemical pesticides. However, their environmental impact is not yet fully understood. The consortium, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, aims to provide evidence-based knowledge about the risks of these biopesticides. (Summary provided by Infomedia).
