Based on a workshop conducted on behalf of UBA in 2021, a collection of international information offers on biocides and their alternatives was compiled. Some of those offers are only available in national languages. (NB: Several internet browsers provide very helpful website translation options.)
If an independent offer of information on biocides, harmful organisms, preventive or alternative measures is missing, that should be listed on this website, please contact us via the contact form.
