| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2008 June | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Illinois EPA Bureau of Water (Division of Public Water Supplies) staff collected samples of raw and finished drinking water that were analyzed for the presence of pharmaceuticals, in order to evaluate whether detectable amounts are present in sufficient concentration to cause adverse human health effects. This project has identified 16 pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the untreated or potable water of five public water supplies in Illinois. The results for the potable water samples were compared against conservative Screening Levels developed by Agency and the Illinois Department of Public Health toxicologists, and were found to not present a public health hazard at this time. These comparisons suggest that even the chemical with the highest Hazard Index has a margin of safety of at least 333, and likely much larger. However, there are also considerable uncertainties that suggest that further sampling is appropriate if funding can be made available. | | | | Date Created: | 08 07 2008 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000012655 Original UID: 6621 FIRST WORD: Report | |

Water quality data are gathered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Geological Survey, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Illinois is required to identify water bodies that do not meet water quality standards and to determine the Total Maximum Daily Load for pollutants causing the impairment. | | | | Date Created: | 06 10 2008 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000014031 Original UID: 7629 FIRST WORD: Little | |
