Risk assessment for human health by bicyclopyrone as a potential pollutant of groundwater and surface waters in soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine

Abstract

The risk on human health of bicyclopyrone as a potential contamination of groundwater and surface water sources in soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine in comparison with other countries has been assessed. It has been established that bicyclopyrone has a very high level of danger according to the integral danger vector R and is extremely dangerous for humanity (1A class) according to the – integral groundwater contamination hazard index (IGCHI). Comparison of the maximum possible good approximation in the human body of bicyclopyrone in water with an acceptable daily use showed that the potential risk of adverse effects of pesticides on human health (RAEP) bicyclopyrone is acceptable (less than one). The assessment of danger to public health by bicyclopyrone as a contaminant of groundwater and surface water in soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine coincides with the assessment of studies’ results in other countries.
