Health risk assessment of trichloroethylene (TCE) in California drinking water
This document presents an assessment of the potential health risks associated with exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) dissolved in California drinking waters. This assessment is being provided to the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) for the development of drinking-water standards to manage the health risks of TCE exposures. Other assessments required in the risk-management process include analyses of the technical and economic feasibility of treating water supplies contaminated with TCE. A primary goal of this health-risk assessment is to evaluate dose-response relationships for observed and potential toxic end points of TCE in order to define dose rates that can be used to establish standards that will protect members of the general public from adverse health effects resulting solely from water-based exposures to TCE. We also analyze the extent of human exposures attributable to TCE-contaminated groundwater in California. 363 refs., 8 figs., 22 tabs.
