Abstract |
A new technique has been developed for establishing firm criteria for health risks associated with recreational water bodies. The basis of the method is a mathematical treatment of medical dose-response data in conjunction with the probability of exposure over a period of time to a given level of the potentially harmful factor, such that a quantitative risk can be assigned to the recreational activity. Once a public health jurisdiction has established an acceptable level of risk, curves produced by electronic data processing equipment can be used to ascertain whether a particular water should be open to the public. |
