"Malathion is a registered insecticide and acaricide used on a wide variety of sites including agricultural and non-agricultural sites. In 2018 (the most recent year for which data are available), over 25 000 kg of malathion was sold in Canada. Malathion may be released into surface water or soil as runoff from the application site. Malathion is not usually found in drinking water sources in Canada. Low levels of malathion have been found in several Canadian provinces. The maximum reported concentrations are well below the MAC. Malathion is rarely detected in foods"--Executive summary.
This volume describes the methods used in the surveillance of drinking water quality in the light of the special problems of small-community supplies, particularly in developing countries, and outlines the strategies necessary to ensure that surveillance is effective.
This report focusses on four inorganic fluorides of environmental importance: hydrogen fluoride, calcium fluoride or fluorspar, sodium fluoride, and sulphur hexafluoride. It contains information on inorganic fluoride chemistry & speciation, analytical methods, natural & anthropogenic sources, fate & fluoride levels in the environment, fluoride bioaccumulation & bioconcentration, and effects of inorganic fluorides on aquatic organisms (including fish, plants, invertebrates, and semi-aquatic mammals & birds). The final section sets out fluoride concentration guidelines to protect recreational water quality, aesthetics, and aquatic life.
This report describes the development of Canadian water quality guidelines for the nitrate ion for the protection of aquatic life. It contains a review of technical background information on the chemical & physical properties of nitrate & nitrate salts, the nitrogen cycle, natural & anthropogenic sources, fate & behaviour of nitrate in the environment, nitrate environmental concentrations, and effects of nitrates on aquatic organisms (including fish, plants, invertebrates, and semi-aquatic mammals & birds). The final section sets out nitrate concentration guidelines to protect fresh & marine water quality and aquatic life, and provides guidance on the application of the guidelines. Appendices include tables that summarize freshwater & marine toxicity studies.
Triallate is the common name for an agricultural herbicide marketed under the trade names Avadex BW and Fortress by Monsanto. This publication summarizes information obtained from a literature review on the uses, fate, and effects of triallate on raw water for drinking water supply, freshwater aquatic life, agricultural uses, recreational water quality and aesthetics, and industrial water supplies. Water quality guidelines for the protection of specific water uses are then developed.
Of information gained through a literature review on the uses, fate, and effects of dinoseb on raw water for drinking water supply, freshwater aquatic life, agricultural uses, recreational water quality and aesthetics, and industrial water supplies. From it, water quality guidelines for the protection of specific water uses are recommended.
This guidebook, now thoroughly updated and revised in its second edition, gives comprehensive advice on the designing and setting up of monitoring programmes for the purpose of providing valid data for water quality assessments in all types of freshwater bodies. It is clearly and concisely written in order to provide the essential information for all agencies and individuals responsible for the water quality.
