| Abstract |
The development of water quality guidelines and standards for recreational waters has followed a well-defined pattern. The first step was the development of guidelines and standards dictated largely by adoption of the best available control technology. These were usually based on limited epidemiological evidence and little, if any, data relating the risk of illness or disease to the level of the pollutant in the environment. The second stage was the modification of these guidelines and standards on the basis of detectable risk using a limited amount of data relating illness to the environmental level of the pollutant. The last step in the process, the development of guidelines based on acceptable risks, requires enough epidemiological data to define the relationship of some measure of water quality to an observable effect. In the U.S. the first and second stages have been completed for recreational waters. This paper describes and substantiates the derivation of guidelines and standards based on acceptable risk. |
