On June 15th, the EPA updated its Health Advisories (HAs) for PFOA and PFOS from 70 ppt to 0.004 ppt and 0.02 ppt, respectively. This is a significant drop for water quality managers and raises many unanswered questions and concerns.

  • What are Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) and Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), and how are these developed?
