8-24. Exposure to pesticides

Infrastructure and Surveillance

ORIGINAL OBJECTIVE
8-24. Reduce exposure to pesticides as measured by urine concentrations of metabolites.
Target and baseline:
Objective Reduction in Pesticide Exposure as Measured by Metabolites (Pesticide) 1998-94
Baseline*
2010
Target
Urine Concentration
8-24a. 1-naphthol (carbaryl) 36.0 μg/g
creatinine
25.2 μg/g
creatinine
8-24b. Paranitrophenol (methyl parathion and parathions) 3.8 μg/g
creatinine
2.7 μg/g
creatinine
8-24c. 3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (chlorpyrifos) 8.3 μg/g
creatinine
5.8 μg/g
creatinine
8-24d. Isopropoxyphenol (propoxur) 1.6 μg/g
creatinine
1.1 μg/g
creatinine
* 95 percent of the population had concentrations below this level.
Target setting method: 30 percent improvement.
Data source : National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), CDC, NCHS.
Note: Data are from a subset of NHANES data and are not nationally representative. Therefore, a population data template is not available.

(For data control purposes, subobjectives are not renumbered.)
Target setting method: 30 percent improvement. (Population data will be provided if the information becomes available.)
