Wastewater-based epidemiology approach to assess population exposure to pesticides: a review of a pesticide pharmacokinetic dataset
2020
Devault, Damien Alain | Karolak, Sara
Wastewater-based epidemiology is an innovative approach to estimate a population’s intentional and unintentional consumption of chemicals based on biomarker assays found in wastewater. This method can provide real-time objective information on the xenobiotics to which a population is directly or indirectly exposed. This approach has already been used to assess the population exposure to four classes of pesticides: organochlorines (chlordecone), triazines, organophosphates, and pyrethroids. This review aims to obtain the data (excretion rates) and characteristics (pesticide and metabolites stability, including in-sewer one) for other pesticides to broaden the scope of this new method. Excretion rates and stability descriptions for 14 pesticides, namely 2,4-D, aldrin, carbaryl, chlorobenzilate, dieldrin, diquat, ethion, glufosinate, glyphosate, folpet, malathion, parathion, penconazole, and tebuconazole, will be discussed in a practical framework.
