| Abstract | This document describes the procedures and calculations EPA used to compute the national bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) that were, in turn, used to calculate the Agency’s updated national recommended water quality criteria for human health for 94 chemicals (USEPA 2015). For a scientific discussion of and rationale for using these methods, see EPA’s 2000 Methodology for Deriving Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Human Health (2000 Methodology), Technical Support Document Volume 2: Development of National Support Factors (TSD), and EPA’s final 94 criteria documents that describe the development of each chemical-specific bioaccumulation factor included in the 2015 update on the National Recommended Water Quality Criteria – Human Health Criteria Table webpage. |
