Abstract |
Assessment of potential human health risk(s) from disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water is needed because of widespread oral, dermal and inhalation exposures to this complex mixture and because positive data from both epidemiologic and toxicologic studies of DBPs raise concern for human health (U.S. EPA, 2000a). Information from toxicologic studies has focused primarily on single DBPs administered orally at doses far above finished drinking water concentrations. Information from positive epidemiologic studies suggests that exposures to different mixtures of DBPs in various geographic locations may pose quite different health risks. Thus, to develop a regulatory and risk reduction strategy, there is a need to consider the health risks associated with DBP mixtures and the various exposures from contact with finished drinking water. Several risk assessment issues are of concern to managers responsible for ensuring safe drinking water for the public. The first issue is to evaluate the association between DBP mixture exposures and human health outcomes and thereby establish whether or not human health risks are a significant concern. This report describes how these data can be used to assess DBP risks using a newly developed risk assessment method, the Cumulative Relative Potency Factors (CRPF) approach. |
