An average of about 7 ppm of bromine is found ia terrestrial plants, and edible foods contain up to 20 ppm. Among animals the highest bromide contents are found ia sea life, such as fish, sponges, and cmstaceans (44). Animal tissues contain 1—9 ppm of bromide and blood 5—15 ppm. The World Health Organization has set a maximum acceptable bromide iatake for humans at 1 mg/kg of body weight per day. In adult males the bromine content ia semm has been found to be 3.2—5.6 p.g/mL, ia urine 0.3—7.0 p.g/mL, and ia hair 1.1—49.0 p.g/mL. Bromine may be an essential trace element as are the other hahdes (45).

The World Health Organization (WHO) in its May 2002 report estimated that currently up to 80% of the African people and a significant percentage of the worldwide population still practice some form of traditional medical treatment. Typically, these treatments are in the forms of decoctions, tinctures, syrups, or ointments with plant or animal products (see Exhibit 3.1). 

It was also essential to determine how effective bromethalin was against warfarin-resistant rats and mice. Such animals, whose resistance to anticoagulants had been determined by World Health Organization tests,(17) were subjected to a standard EPA choice feeding efficacy test with bromethalin at 0.005% in the treated diet. The results indicate (Appendix 6) that 90% of the animals were killed and that consumption patterns were similar to those observed in other choice tests.
