EPA Outlines Enhanced Monitoring Methods Of Hexavalent Chromium in Drinking Water

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency Jan. 11 released new guidance that it said would help public water systems to better monitor and evaluate the levels of hexavalent chromium in drinking water. Guidance for Public Water Systems on Enhanced Monitoring for Chromium-6 (Hexavalent Chromium) in Drinking Water responds to recent concerns that hexavalent chromium could pose health concerns if consumed over long periods of time, EPA said. It comes as EPA works to finalize a report assessing the health effects of hexavalent chromium (also known as chromium-6), which is scheduled to be completed in June.
