Title: | Risk-based assessment of arsenic-affected aquacultural water in blackfoot disease hyperendemic areas | Authors: | Jang, C.-S. Lin, K.-H. CHEN-WUING LIU Lin, M.-C. |
Keywords: | Aquacultural water; Groundwater; Risk-based management; Uncertainty | Issue Date: | 2009 | Journal Volume: | 23 | Journal Issue: | 5 | Start page/Pages: | 603-612 | Source: | Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment | Abstract: | This work explored a risk-based arsenic (As) regulation in farmed pond water by ingesting tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in blackfoot disease hyperendemic areas and discussed a rational As regulation in pond water. Monte Carlo analysis was used to propagate the parameter uncertainty and to assess probabilistically regulation risks. A dynamic scheme of groundwater management was proposed that curves of utilization ratios against As concentrations in groundwater were established based on the risk-based regulation. The 5th to 95th percentiles of risks range from 3.5 × 10 -7 to 6.0 × 10 -5 via ingesting the farmed tilapia under the current As regulation in farmed pond water in Taiwan, 50 μg/L. To compare to inorganic As regulation in drinking water, the current As regulation in farmed pond water does not pose a great threat to human health, but it is unsafe. Therefore, this study suggests that the regulation of As in farmed pond water is revised to be 25 μg/L. ? Springer-Verlag 2008. |
