The most recent volume in the Drinking Water and Health series contains the results of a two-part study on the toxicity of drinking water contaminants. The first part examines current practices in risk assessment, identifies new noncancerous toxic responses to chemicals found in drinking water, and discusses the use of pharmacokinetic data to estimate the delivered dose and response. The second part of the book provides risk assessments for 14 specific compounds, 9 presented here for the first time.

The regulation of potentially hazardous substances has become a controversial issue. This volume evaluates past efforts to develop and use risk assessment guidelines, reviews the experience of regulatory agencies with different administrative arrangements for risk assessment, and evaluates various proposals to modify procedures. The book's conclusions and recommendations can be applied across the entire field of environmental health. Table of Contents <ul>
<li>Front Matter</li>
<li>Summary</li>
<li>Introduction</li>
<li>1 The Nature of Risk Assessment</li>
<li>2 Inference Guidelines for Risk Assessment</li>
<li>3 Organizational Arrangements for Risk Assessment</li>
