Evaluation of Military Field-Water Quality. Volume 2. Constituents of Military Concern from Natural and Anthropogenic Sources. Part 2. Pesticides
Abstract
The purpose of this part of Volume 2 is to assess the hazard that pesticides in water pose to the health and performance of troops stationed overseas. To assess the likely exposure, the open literature was searched for reports of pesticide concentrations in water, primarily outside of the United States. Based on 15-L/d water consumption, pesticides found in concentrations causing an excess of an Acceptable Daily Intake (as proposed by the World Health Organization) were further evaluated for their toxicity and exposure potential. The assessment included information collected on quantities of pesticides used around the world. Incidents of severe contamination of water by pesticides were also investigated to identify situations that might involve serious pesticide contamination.
