This paper discusses the standards for drinking water contaminants and the process by which these standards are set. The author primarily concentrates on the non-carcinogenic contaminants and how targeted research might significantly increase the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for a non-carcinogenic contaminant. An increase in the MCL for a contaminant would significantly reduce compliance and monitoring costs for public water supplies.
