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.
