1、 2011 Edition of the Drinking Water Standards and Health Advisories 2011 Edition of the Drinking Water Standards and Health Advisories EPA 820-R-11-002 Office of Water U.S.Environmental Protection Agency Washington,DC Winter 2011 Date of update:January,2011 Recycled/Recyclable Printed on paper that

3、nking water and to introduce new Health Advisories.The following information should be kept in mind when using the 2011 Edition of the Tables:Reference dose(RfD)values are updated to reflect the values in the Integrated Risk Information System(IRIS)and the Office of Pesticide Programs(OPP)Reregistra
4、tion Eligibility Decisions(RED)Documents.The Drinking Water Equivalent Level(DWEL)has been adjusted accordingly.Thus,both the RfD and DWEL in the Tables differ from the values in the Health Advisory document when the IRIS or OPP RfD is more recent than the Health Advisory document value.RfD values f

13、ssment,descriptive terms for carcinogenicity replace the earlier alpha numeric Cancer Group designations(US EPA 1986 guidelines).The suggested descriptive terms are as follows:Carcinogenic to humans(H)Likely to be carcinogenic to humans(L)Likely to be carcinogenic above a specified dose but not like
14、ly to be carcinogenic below that dose because a key event in tumor formation does not occur below that dose(L/N)Suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential(S)Inadequate information to assess carcinogenic potential(I)Not likely to be carcinogenic to humans(N)The letter abbreviations provided parent
15、hetically above are now used in the Tables in place of the prior alpha numeric identifiers for chemicals that have been evaluated under the new guidelines(the 2005 guidelines or the 1996 and 1999 draft guidelines).Cancer Group:A qualitative weight-of-evidence judgment as to the likelihood that a che
16、mical may be a carcinogen for humans.Each chemical was placed into one of the following five categories(US EPA 1986 guidelines).The Cancer Group designations are given in the Tables for chemicals that have not yet been evaluated under the new guidelines.Group Category A Human carcinogen B Probable h
17、uman carcinogen:B1 indicates limited human evidence B2 indicates sufficient evidence in animals and inadequate or no evidence in humans C Possible human carcinogen D Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity E Evidence of noncarcinogenicity for humans 10-4 Cancer Risk:The concentration of a chemi
