In 1985, Berteau and Mengle (1985) of the California Department of Health Services and Maddy of the Department of Food and Agriculture conducted a preliminary review of pesticides used indoors. They noted several cases (six) from the Pesticide Illness Surveillance system in which illness was reported after structural pest control. Hypothetical exposure estimates for infants, children, and adults following label use for propoxur, DDVP, and chlorpyrifos were sometimes greater than toxic levels. In 1987, Berteau et al. (1989) reiterated the concern about the potential magnitude of indoor exposures, particularly for children.

The chemical industry has responded to the demand presented by TSCA in differing ways. Additional resources have been added in (1) personnel, (2) testing facilities, and (3) recordkeeping/surveillance systems. Other effects have been increased testing, impacts of banned substances and a variety of new or increased internal and external activities. 

The monitoring system was a stimulated passive surveillance system. In other words, when vaccines purchased with federal funds were administered in the public sector, Important Information forms were given to recipients or their parents or guardians instructing them to report any illnesses requiring medical attention that occurred within four weeks of vaccination. System coordinators at each immunization project or grantee site and the state health department completed standardized forms that were reviewed for consistency and completeness and then forwarded to the CDC for data entry and analysis.

Events are under-reported in a passive surveillance system because of the failure to recognize an adverse event as being related to a food additive, the amount of effort involved, or other reasons. 

The United States is one of the only countries that has established a formal surveillance system for post-approval monitoring of adverse reactions to food additives. Despite the obvious limitations of a passive surveillance system, ARMS provides an important venue for the public and others to report health problems perceived to be related to food additives. It provides a means of spotting potential longer-term problems with additives which can then be investigated further. 

Until progress can be made in development of practical and affordable online contaminant monitoring and surveillance systems, most chemical industrial facilities must use other approaches to contaminant monitoring and surveillance. This includes monitoring data of physical and chemical contamination surrogates, pressure change abnormalities, free and total chlorine residual, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity.

In recent years, several initiatives have been launched to establish or strengthen surveillance systems, both in EU member states and at an international level, to monitor the presence of these residues in environmental matrices. When implementing measures, water bodies relevant for drinking water should receive priority. Furthermore, research is required to determine whether observations made from regional sample sets are representative of environmental concentrations nationwide [3], being essential to perform contamination maps and implement surveillance models, needed for the establishment of a sustainable strategy, to minimize environmental impact of medicines.
