Maximum admissible concentrations

The European drinking water guidelines set a maximum admissible concentration of 0.10 pgL for individual pesticides and their related compounds in drinking water. The recommended methods for oxime carbamates and their metabolites in groundwater and surface water are suitable for detection limits below 0.10 pgL. The first method is the HPLC/lluorescence multiresidue method of de Kok et al The second method is an HPLC/MS/MS method of DuPont Crop Protection which is specific for oxamyl and may be applicable for the analysis of other oxime carbamates in heavily polluted waters.

According to phosphorus maximum admissible concentration in surface waters (0.1 mg/L), only Hagieni, Corbu and Limanu lakes can be included in the 1st category (STAS 4706/88). [Pg.207]

The enforcement of this legislation has led to an increasing need from analysts to develop reliable, effective methods for qualitative and quantitative pesticide residue analysis in environmental and food matrices. EEC Directive 80/778, which is concerned with the quality of water designated for human consumption, has established the maximum admissible concentration of each individual pesticide at 0.1 /rg/l and the total amount of pesticides at 0.5 /rg/1. Other countries (e.g., U.S.A. and Australia) have established concentration limits based on the values recommended by WHO. Such values are based on the acceptable daily intake (ADI), which is calculated as the 20% ADI for a person of 70 kg drinking 2 1 of water per day. "... [Pg.903]

The 98/83/EC Directive on the Quality of Water Intended for Human Consumption states a maximum admissible concentration of 0.1 /j.g/1 for individual pesticides and 0.5 /Ag/1 for total pesticides, regardless of their toxicity. Table 25.3 lists the acute oral toxicity of phenylurea and SUHs for rats. [Pg.940]

Because of its widespread use, relatively large amounts of these compounds are released into the environment and some of them enter the food chain. They have become ubiquitous in the environment.The most commonly used phthalates have been included in the list of priority pollutants in several countries. These are dimethyl- (DMP), diethyl- (DEP), di- -butyl- (DnBP), butylbenzyl- (BBP), bis(2-ethyUiexyl)- (DEHP), and di- -octyl (DnOP) phthalates. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has established a maximum admissible concentration (MAC) in water of 6 /rg/1 for DEHP." " In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to human exposure to phthalates because of the suspicion of its carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. " " ... [Pg.1245]

Toxicological studies of bromate have provided continuous evidence of its possible carcinogenicity (Km-okawa et al, 1990). As a result a maximum admissible concentration (MAC) of 10 pg/L bromate in drinking waters is recommended by the US ERA (US EPA,1997), the Emopean Commission (Council Directive 98/83) and the WHO (WHO, 1991), this limit has been defined primarily on the basis of the detection...

Groundwater and soil samples from 16 locations near petrol stations (PS) and mechanic workshops (MW) aroxmd Calabar, Nigeria, were analyzed for heavy metals and hydrocarbons to determine their concentrations and assess the impact of the PS and MW on groundwater in the area. Results show that mean concentrations of cadmium, chromium, manganese, nickel, and lead in groundwater are higher than the maximum admissible concentration (Nganje et al., 2007). [Pg.37]
