- EPA note on this criterion
- This criterion is based on carcinogenicity of 10-6 risk. Alternate risk levels may be obtained by moving the decimal point (e.g., for a risk level of 10-5, move the decimal point in the recommended criterion one place to the right). This criterion applies to total PCBs (e.g., the sum of all congener or all isomer or homolog or Aroclor analyses). EPA has issued a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for this chemical which may be more stringent. Refer to EPA's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. verified
