Pesticide threshold weighing indicator: application in the State of Paraná, Brazil
The iPLA demonstrated the ability to represent pesticide concentration levels in drinking water. The risk categories defined by the indicator - controlled, silent, and alert - represent a highly useful tool for public health surveillance, as they enable the identification of local drinking water risk levels to human health. Moreover, the iPLA supports public management in implementing control actions and improvements in the quality of water for human consumption.
