The primary measure of uranium exposure was uranium concentration in drinking water, with additional information on uranium intake and uranium concentration in urine.
Similarly, surveillance of compliance with food control plans and drinking water standards provides information on the distribution of both hazards and interventions.
Hence, the aim of this retrospective study is to examine the distribution of selected physicochemical parameters and its health impact by comparing its values with the Ethiopian compulsory Standard for drinking water and to generate information which enables for health regulatory and water authorities to monitor water sources.
Information on drinking water sources, 24-hr urine samples, and blood pressure was obtained from 343 pregnant Dacope women during the dry season (October 2009 through March 2010).
A face-to-face interview was conducted with each participant to obtain a detailed residential history focused on identification of drinking water sources at home and information on potential confounders, including sunlight exposure, skin characteristics, educational attainment, sex, age, smoking history, height, and weight reported for age 20, before their illnesses.
For participants who reported drinking water from more than one well, information was collected on the proportion of drinking water from each well.
We used many individual-specific determinants, including demographic information, residential histories, drinking water source at home and workplace, tap water consumption rates, and workplace histories, to estimate dose as described below.
To estimate yearly PFOA intakes, the panel combined modeled water concentration calculations with information about residential history, drinking water sources, and water consumption rates.
The literature on PAHs in drinking water distribution systems is limited, and there is little quantitative information on the presence of PAHs in drinking water.
These results provide useful information for developing appropriate strategies for contaminants control in drinking water sources.
