Status report on the development of draft MCLGs for disinfectants and by-products

Technical Report · Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6751070

The Maximum Contaminant level goals (MCLG) are set at concentration levels at which no known or anticipated adverse health effects occur, allowing for an adequate margin of safety. Establishment of an MCLG for each specific contaminant depends on the evidence of carcinogenicity from drinking water exposure or the Agency's oral reference dose based on noncarcinogenic data. The report discusses the status of the development of draft MCLG5 for disinfectants and disinfection by-products.
