[Distribution and health risk assessment of pesticide pollution in raw water and drinking water within key river basins in China in 2022].

Different concentrations of pesticides have been detected in raw water, finished water, and tap water of key river basins in China, with the highest total concentration of detected reaching 1299.4 ng/L. The carcinogenic risk was lower than 10~(-6) and the non-carcinogenic hazard index of 19 pesticides was less than 1, and both below the acceptable level. Because of the universality and diverse occurrence of these pesticides in drinking water, long-term exposure to pesticides is still a concern.
