title: Focus on toxicological aspects of pesticide chemical interaction in drinking water contamination.
abstract: Toxicological aspects related to chemical and microbial degradation of pesticides in water and to products deriving from the interaction with xenobiotics found in water are reviewed. Other aspects considered are those related to compounds formed in potabilization processes and to water contamination by pesticide synthesis by-products or intermediates. These problems refer to scarcely investigated issues which are nevertheless very interesting because of their impact on human health.
