(a) MCLGs are zero for the following contaminants:
(1) Benzene.
(2) Vinyl chloride.
(3) Carbon tetrachloride.
(4) 1,2-dichloroethane.
(5) Trichloroethylene.
(6) Acrylamide.
(7) Alachlor.
(8) Chlordane.
(9) Dibromochloropropane.
(10) 1,2-Dichloropropane.
(11) Epichlorohydrin.
(12) Ethylene dibromide.
(13) Heptachlor.
(14) Heptachlor epoxide.
(15) Pentachlorophenol.
(16) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
(17) Tetrachloroethylene.
(18) Toxaphene.
(19) Benzo[a]pyrene.
(20) Dichloromethane (methylene chloride).
(21) Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate.
(22) Hexachlorobenzene.
(23) 2,3,7,8-TCDD (Dioxin).
(24) PFOA.
(25) PFOS.
(b) MCLGs for the following contaminants are as indicated:
Hazard Index = ([HFPO-DAwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l]) + ([PFBSwater ng/l]/[2000 ng/l]) + ([PFNAwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l]]) + ([PFHxSwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l])
HBWC = health-based water concentration
HQ = hazard quotient
ng/l = nanograms per liter
PFASwater = the concentration of a specific PFAS in water
