Analyse av hvitt fosfor i drikkevann i Troms (FFI NOTAT-2006 00412)

The aim of the report is to assess the level of white phosphorus (WP) in drinking water for household near by military training areas in Troms. None of the 26 drinking water samples analysed contains WP above detection limits (0,015μg/l). These results suggest that no WP is transported from military training areas in Troms to the surrounding drinking water wells. Hence, there is no health risk associated with consumption of water from these wells due to WP content.
