Abstract
The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and its Amendments of 1986 (SDWAA) requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) establish maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) for each contaminant which may have an adverse effect on the health of persons. Each goal is required to be set at a level at which no known or anticipated adverse effects on health occur, allowing for an adequate margin of safety (Clark, et al., 1987). Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) must be set as near to MCLGs as feasible.
