Myanmar to use Standard Drinking Water

According to Myanmar Times, standard for pesticide residue in drinking water have been developed as part of a larger safe drinking water policy that will be adopted soon, a Ministry of Health official said at a workshop last week.

Dr Kyi Lwin Oo, deputy director of Department of Health’s Occupational Health Division told that:
“We have set the guideline values for 14 pesticides that are commonly used in Myanmar and can harm human’s health. If the amount of pesticide is higher than the standard, it will be regarded as unsafe. We based [our standards] on the WHO’s guideline values. But we have to set the values based on what is suitable for our country.
