| Abstract |
The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, states very succinctly that the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 'Shall carry out a study of virus contamination.' In a broad interpretation of this wording, the study of the sources of viral contamination would require the tracking of viruses from the infected individual, through the sewage system, the natural aquatic environment and ultimately to the contamination of a glass of drinking water. This report is divided into twelve sections that represent key issues of interest and activity in the virus-in-water field. It concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the current state of knowledge and recommends nine specific areas for further research effort. This report focuses on recent findings obtained from the ongoing research activity and the drinking water survey of the EPA. It is hoped that this report accurately conveys the state of knowledge regarding this potential health hazard and has clearly revealed the studies engaged in by this Agency in response to the mandate of the Act and the health needs of the American public. |
