40 C.F.R. § 141.50

View:

(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
