| Abstract | The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) generated the estimates in this report in response to legislative mandates in the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996. These mandates require up-to-date information on water ingestion to identify subpopulations at elevated risk of health effects from exposure to contaminants in drinking water. The estimates also support characterization of health risks to sensitive populations from contaminants in drinking water. The estimates in this document characterize the empirical distributions of 2-day average per capita ingestion of water for specific subpopulations. Subpopulation estimates apply to demographic categories, but do not distinguish individuals with a history of serious illness or with lifestyles that effect water ingestion. |
