Abstract |
The report, one of a series of reports concerning exposure assessment, describes methods for estimating exposure to chemical substances via drinking water. The report is organized to reflect the framework or flow of required information. Section 2 provides an overview of drinking water systems and the pathways of exposure to chemical substances in drinking water, from the source of the substance through the treatment and distribution systems to the consuming population. Section 3 catalogues and discusses the various data bases and information sources that aid in the identification of contaminated drinking water supplies. Section 4 presents and discusses methods and simulation models that can be used to estimate the concentration of chemical substances in both surface and ground water. Section 5 discusses drinking water treatment systems and processes, the effect the systems and processes have on different types of chemical substances, and how the information can be used to predict the concentration of a chemical substance in finished drinking water. Section 6 briefly discusses the enumeration and characterization of exposed populations; detailed information on the subject is provided in Volume 4 of the series. Finally, Section 7 discusses the procedures for calculating exposure as a result of contact with contaminated drinking water. |
