Is the Content of Pesticides and Pesticides Metabolites in the Ground Water Still Important for Medical Hydrology / 日本温泉気候物理医学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

  Pesticides are used in agriculture and in public health. Toxicity to humans include chronic and acute effects.. Therefore, knowledge of their concentration in drinking water treatment seems to be very important. The aim of this study was based on the literature indicating the presence of certain pesticides and pesticide metabolites in selected drinking water coming from the ground and deep-ground. The selected papers indicate that pesticides and metabolites of pesticides pollute water sources, underground water and deep-water. Concentrations of pesticides in most cases are lower than the 0.1μgl−1, which is the general limit concentrations of pesticides, and pesticides metabolites in drinking water.   Only in the case of the pesticide azinphos methyl was found overvaluation concentration of 3.22μgl−1, which realizes the necessity identification concentrations of pesticides and their metabolites in mineral and spring waters
