Radionuclides in drinking water
Description
The Office of Drinking Water in the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently reexamining existing regulations for radionuclides in drinking water and is considering the possibility of adding maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for uranium and radon. Background analyses to support this activity includes evaluations of occurrence, exposure, health effects, monitoring analytical methodology and treatment techniques. A summary of the information available was published in the Federal Register, September 30, 1986. This paper will discuss the scientific background data and its possible contribution to regulation for natural and manmade radionuclides in drinking water
