Abstract The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prepared this Drinking Water Support Document to assist in determining whether to establish a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for naphthalene. Case study reports from humans and laboratory studies with animals demonstrate that naphthalene can have adverse effects on the oxidation state of hemoglobin (methemoglobinemia), the structural integrity of the red blood cell membrane (hemolysis), the activity of selected hepatic enzymes, and body weight gain following oral exposure. It also contributes to the formation of cataracts in certain species and strains of laboratory animals. These effects tend to occur at moderate-to-high doses that are unlikely to be found in public water systems. Accordingly, regulation of naphthalene in public water does not present a meaningful basis for health risk reduction. Prolonged inhalation exposure to naphthalene, such as can occur in the workplace, may present risks to humans, but risk from other exposure routes is minimal.
