Abstract
Monitoring the toxicity of Pesticides in contaminated tap water
Highlights
In developing countries, environmental contamination is a major challenge further complicated by limited resources for early diagnosis and management of its health consequences
The presence of those insecticides in tap water and blood samples designated for its real consequences for human well-being and aquatic life
Authorities overseeing the use of unpredictable insecticides must implement strict social controls
Summary
Environmental contamination is a major challenge further complicated by limited resources for early diagnosis and management of its health consequences. The physical and environmental health of billions of people might threaten by water pollution [3]. Organophosphate considered as a large group of insecticides, which have replaced organochlorine due to their lower toxicity and accumulation in the environment, and relatively higher decomposition rates. Water-soluble pesticides will be taken away by water molecules, especially during precipitation, penetrate down to the soil layer and eventually reach the groundwater. Otherwise, those insoluble chemicals that are tightly bound to the soil particles will accumulate in the topsoil layer, and they are most likely to be eroded by runoff to the surface water, polluting lakes, rivers and rivers with pesticides [9]. Pesticides might be important sources of exposure to the public when they’ll enter the water supply and used domestically as household pesticides
