Download or read book Occurrence of Herbicides Pesticides in Drinking Water written by Michelle Frey and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 2000 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication addresses the public health significance of agrochemical pollution of public water supplies, based on a study sponsored by the nonprofit corporation American Water Works Association, which funds research to help utilities respond to regulatory requirements and other industry issues. The study aimed to identify the information needs for future epidemiological research efforts focusing on reproductive outcomes from pesticide exposure via drinking water. Epidemiology and toxicology researchers describe what is currently known about the reproductive health effects associated with exposure; the spatial and temporal patterns of pesticide exposure through drinking water that would be important to the design of epidemiological research; geographic trends in drinking water exposure around the country; and remaining research needs and design studies relevant to advancing understanding of adverse reproductive health outcomes associated with pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide exposures from drinking water.

Download or read book Pesticides in Drinking Water written by David I. Gustafson and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the dangers of pesticide contamination in water supplies? Can the problem be eliminated? Are the available technologies adequate to remedy or alleviate the risks? What government regulations are currently in place, and how effective is the protection they offer? This comprehensive resource provides a collection of all known, up-to-date information regarding the occurrence of pesticides in drinking water. Gustafson furnishes definitive examinations regarding the different types of pesticides in drinking supplies, how they get there, and what is being done to remedy the problem. Bringing together historic data, current trends in scientific thought, regulatory tactics, and future technical strategies, Pesticides in Drinking Water provides an inclusive, single source for understanding how best to monitor and control the problem. The author provides: Case studies for a more detailed, historical perspective A review of current monitoring data Intricate descriptions of accidental spills and misuses of pesticides An explanation of the dangers of leaching and run-off from properly applied chemicals Recent surveys of drinking water quality A look at current industrial and government regulations Examples of the technology utilized to treat pesticides in water supplies An examination of new and safer pesticides This effective reference guide is invaluable for chemists and biologists in the agricultural-chemistry profession, environmental consultants and engineers, farmers, government inspectors, and regulatory managers. Presented in an accurate, technical, but fully accessible style, Pesticides in Drinking Water is also ideal for students, scholars, or any-one concerned about water quality and the environmental hazards of pesticides.
Download or read book Identifying Future Drinking Water Contaminants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an increasing population, use of new and diverse chemicals that can enter the water supply, and emergence of new microbial pathogens, the U.S. federal government is faced with a regulatory dilemma: Where should it focus its attention and limited resources to ensure safe drinking water supplies for the future? Identifying Future Drinking Water Contaminants is based on a 1998 workshop on emerging drinking water contaminants. It includes a dozen papers that were presented on new and emerging microbiological and chemical drinking water contaminants, associated analytical and water treatment methods for their detection and removal, and existing and proposed environmental databases to assist in their proactive identification and regulation. The papers are preceded by a conceptual approach and related recommendations to EPA for the periodic creation of future Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate Lists (CCLsâ€"produced every five yearsâ€"include currently unregulated chemical and microbiological substances that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems and that may pose health risks).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pesticides in Ground Water is an amazing compilation of actual results from laboratory studies, field experiments, and well-sampling surveys ranging in scope from individual towns to the entire nation. The authors summarizes what is currently known about the physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern the sources, transport, spatial and temporal distributions, and fate of pesticides and their transformation products in ground water. Their conclusion is meticulously documented and illustrated with maps, tables, graphs and charts. In today's world, our dependence on pesticides causes a willful ignorance to their implications. Pesticides in Ground Water is a compelling wake-up call, supported with dedication and concern.

Book excerpt: Information on the use of pesticides in the UK is important for the identification of pesticides likely to result in water contamination. It is also important to be able to estimate from the usage data the risk of pesticide occurrence in individual water catchments. The Working Party on the Incidence of Pesticides in Water (WPIPW) was established in 1991 to review the arrangement for the collection, evaluation and dissemination of information from the monitoring of pesticides in water in the UK. This publication contains information on pesticides in drinking water, trends throughout the environment for pesticides in rivers and lakes, in groundwater and in estuarine and coastal waters.
