Influences on the water testing behaviors of private well owners.
Many private wells in the United States and Canada already are contaminated, or are at risk of contamination. Regular testing for pathogenic bacteria is one of the most concrete measures well owners can use to determine whether or not their drinking water quality is safe. This study explored the factors and causal relationships that influence well owner water quality testing behavior. In-depth,...
متن کاملAccident rates and types among self-employed private forest owners.
Half of all Swedish forests are owned by private individuals, and at least 215,000 people work in these privately owned forest holdings. However, only lethal accidents are systematically monitored among self-employed forest workers. Therefore, data from the registries of the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the Labor Insurance Organization and the regional University Hospital in Umeå were ga...
متن کاملArsenic Exposure in Infancy: Estimating the Contributions of Well Water and Human Milk
Studies of mothers with high levels of arsenic exposure indicate the toxic element does not pass easily into human milk. In this issue of EHP, researchers test the hypothesis that breastfed infants have lower exposures than infants fed powdered formula mixed with private well water. Early life is a time of heightened vulnerability to arsenic, a naturally occurring element in bedrock and a wides...
متن کاملAssessment of water use for estimating exposure to tap water contaminants.
Epidemiological studies examining the association between exposure to tap water contaminants (such as chlorination by-products) and disease outcomes (such as cancer and adverse reproductive outcomes) have been limited by inaccurate exposure assessment. Failure to take into account the variation in beverage and tap water consumption and exposure to volatile contaminants through inhalation and de...
متن کاملStrategies to Improve Private-Well Water Quality: A North Carolina Perspective
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that the 44.5 million U.S. residents drawing their drinking water from private wells face higher risks of waterborne contaminant exposure than those served by regulated community water supplies. Among U.S. states, North Carolina (N.C.) has the second-largest population relying on private wells, making it a useful microcosm to study challenges to maintaining private-...
