Field-Water Quality Standards for BZ
Abstract
Effects of BZ in animals and humans were evaluated and served as the basis for the development of a water quality standard for field drinking water. BZ can reduce mental and physical performance at very low levels and hence is a substantial concern in drinking water. The 7-day standards for daily consumption of 5 and 15 liter water are 7 microgram/liter and 2.33 microgram/liter, respectively. Due to insufficient data in animals or man, a long-term drinking water standard could not be developed. Subject terms: Field-water quality; BZ; 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate; Health effects; Health risks.
