Estimation of human body concentrations of DDT from indoor residual spraying for malaria control
Bornman, Riana; Bouwman, Hindrik; Fritsche, Lukas; Gyalpo, Tenzing; Scheringer, Martin (Elsevier, 2012)Inhabitants of dwellings treated with DDT for indoor residual spraying show high DDT levels in blood and breast milk. This is of concern since mothers transfer lipid-soluble contaminants such as DDT via breastfeeding to ... -
First report of the concentrations and implications of DDT residues in chicken eggs from a malaria–controlled area
Bouwman, Hindrik; Bornman, Riana; Van Dyk, Cobus; Barnhoorn, Irene (Elsevier, 2015)In malaria-endemic areas, where DDT is still used for vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS), the concentrations of DDT in human blood and breast milk are high, and there are indications of human health impacts. ... -
High levels of DDT in breast milk: intake, risk, lactation duration, and involvement of gender
Bornman, Riana; Bouwman, Hindrik; Kylin, H.; Sereda, Barbara (Elsevier, 2012)We investigated presence and levels of DDT in 163 breast milk samples from four South African villages where, in three of them, malaria is controlled with DDT-sprayed indoors. Mean ΣDDT levels in breast milk were 18, 11, ... -
Undisturbed dust as a metric of long–term indoor insecticide exposure: residential DDT contamination from indoor residual spraying and its association with serum levels
Gaspar, Fraser W.; Bouwman, Hindrik; Chevrier, Jonathan; Bornman, Riana; Crause, Madelein (Elsevier, 2015)Although approximately 123 million people may be exposed to high levels of insecticides through the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria control, fewstudies exist on indoor insecticide contamination due to ...
