Workshop summary report: Water-quality criteria to protect wildlife resources. Report on pollutants considered to pose the greatest threat to wildlife when existing water-quality criteria are met
The workshop was convened to identify and define the need for water-quality criteria to protect wildlife species. The workshop's goals were to (1) generate a strategy for developing wildlife criteria based on available toxicological data, (2) recommend an approach to incorporating wildlife criteria into the regulatory process, and (3) identify research needs. Although workshop participants believe that existing aquatic-life water-quality criteria will in general protect wildlife species, they identified several important exceptions. The recommended procedures are designed to develop a method for identifying chemicals likely to adversely affect wildlife and to provide a mechanism for developing protective criteria.
