Many states have become involved in the process of developing drinking water standards or guidelines for contaminants in drinking water. In 1985 the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), in cooperation with a small number of state agencies, formed the FederalState Toxicology and Regulatory Alliance Committee (FSTRAC). Now, a majority of state drinking water and risk assessment programs have joined the USEPA for the purposes of exchanging information on the risk assessment of drinking water contaminants and improving the coordination of federal and state drinking water risk assessment and standard-setting activities. FSTRAC conducted an extensive survey of the 48 primacy states, Puerto Rico, and the USEPA for information on each drinking water program, including existing and planned standards or guidelines for chemical contaminants as of January 1989. The bases for these standards and guidelines were also requested from each state, as well as an explanation of which factors besides risk assessment (i.e., treatment feasibility, cost) were used in the standard-setting process. Includes 8 references, tables, figure.
