Accordingly, the Report presents the current programs of EPA to identify the nature and extent of the contamination of the Nation's drinking water with carcinogens, to determine the possible health effects of exposure, and to develop the technically and economically feasible means of removing those contaminants of concern. An interim Report and supporting Appendix were submitted to Congress in June 1975, with the understanding that the Report would be updated to incorporate results of subsequent research and include appropriate recommendations. This Report satisfies that understanding. The material presented in the Appendix to the June Report has not been repeated in the Appendix accompanying this Report. The June Appendix, however, contains much detailed information concerning research methodologies and other material relevant to both Reports. Section 1442(a)(9) instructs the Administrator to provide "such recommendations for further review and corrective action as he deems appropriate." The recommendations presented in the Report should be considered preliminary, however. Only the first phases of research have been completed and many investigations are underway within EPA and other Federal agencies. The Report is organized into a General Overview, five Sections, and Appendices. The first Section discusses the nature and occurrence of carcinogenic contaminants in drinking water. The second Section deals with the known health effects of these contaminants and efforts underway to clarify these potential health hazards. The third Section outlines the studies underway to determine the sources of these contaminants. The final two Sections deal with treatment techniques for controlling drinking water contaminants and the estimated costs of these treatment processes. The Appendices present the results of several monitoring surveys for drinking water contaminants, a selected list of references, and a list of primary contributors. n °i / 10-20 ng/£ DDT) are confirmed by gas chromato¬ graphy/mass spectrometry/computer analysis. The latter technique will also confirm the identity of other chlorinated compounds that may be present in quantities that appear significant from an analytical stand¬ point. Included among these will be chlordane, heptachlor, heptachlor 16 epoxide, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The data generated by this study will be evaluated on the basis of degree of pesticide removal from raw water following water treatment, effect of agricultural practices on levels found, and an assessment of population exposure to these pesticides. The sampling began March 1, 1975. A final analysis of the significance of the findings, including populations at risk, should be prepared in early 1976. Analyses for Polychlorinated Biphenyls Of 106 interstate carrier finished water samples examined for chlorinated hydrocarbons over the past 1-1/2 years, two contained PCBs. The finished water of Winnebago, Illinois, contained 3.0 yg/£ of Arochlor 1242 and that of Sellersburg, Indiana, contained 0.1 yg/£ of Arochlor 1260. Of the 83 water utilities surveyed in EPA's Region V, no PCBs were detected in drinking water using an analytical technique sensitive to 0-2 yg /&. Additional data are being collected that indicate the possible presence of small quantities of PCBs in other drinking water supplies. Among those identified to date (November 1975) are Escondido, California, (0.4 yg/£), New Bedford, Massachusetts, (2.5 yg/£), and Bridgeport, Connecticut, (1 yg/£). Studies of Leaching from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Water Pipes EPA has surveyed five water supply distribution systems utilizing both old and new PVC pipe of various lengths in both hot and cold climates. Little or no difference was found between the vinyl chloride (VC) concentra¬ tions in the source water versus water that had traversed the PVC pipe, except in one case, where the VC concentration was undetectable before and was 1.4 yg/£ after passing through the pipe. (Jonah Water Supply Corporation, Williamson County, Texas; 12-1/2 miles of 8 month-old pipe.) VC levels in two cases approached the detection limit of 0.03 yg/£. Pioneer, California, 7 miles, 9 year-old pipe, had a VC level of 0.06 yg/£, and Roseburg, Oregon, 3.4 miles, 4 to 9 year-old pipe, contained 0.03 yg/£ of VC. No VC was detected in the waters of the other two systems. (Coolidge, Arizona, 1.7 miles, 11 year-old pipe; Salado, Texas, 0.5 miles, 7 year-old pipe). In addition, limited simulation studies were conducted in an EPA laboratory using two types of potable grade chlorinated PVC pipe. Preliminary conclusions are that the concentrations of VC in water in contact with PVC pipe tend to increase as the monomer content of the pipe, temperature, and contact time increase. Detection of Nitrosamines in Drinking Water Nitrosamines are compounds formed when secondary amines react with nitrous acid (nitrite at low pH). The relative rates of their formation and hydrolysis (reaction with water) are important in determining their significance as possible contaminants of drinking water. At the present time, no evidence exists to show that these reactions occur in drinking water sources. 17 In November 1974, EPA provided samples of Carbon Chloroform Extract concentrates taken from three New Orleans area water treatment plants for analysis for the presence of nitrosamines. In early December 1974, results of this analysis showed that "volatile" N-nitroso compounds did not exist in the water down to the one ng/£ level. More recently, however, analyses of the same samples using a combination of high pressure liquid chromatography and thermal energy analysis indicated that a number of "non-volatile" nitrosamines were present. Carbon Chloroform Extract concentrates from finished water at the three water treatment plants in the New Orleans area were very similar. Recent liquid-liquid extracts taken from Mississippi River raw water also indicated the presence of nitrosamines. Approximately 24 N-nitroso compounds were detected by this technique, although their identities were not verified by independent analyses. One of the peaks in the chromatogram was tentatively identified by its retention time as N-nitrosoatrazine, which is derivable from the pesticide atrazine (a herbicide). Estimated concentrations of individual compounds ranged from 50 to 100 ng/£. The investigators concluded, however, that "...even this must be considered tentative and speculative until the identity of each peak is confirmed by other techniques." The joint USDA/FDA Study Group on Nitrites, Nitrates, and Nitro¬ samines is concerned that nitrosamines might be present in drinking water in locations where the nitrate content of the water is excessive. Twelve samples from wells with a known nitrate content were collected from Runnels County, Texas, and Washington County, Illinois, during the week of September 23, 1975. A combination of chromatography and thermal energy analysis was used to analyze samples from some of these wells for both volatile and non-volatile N-nitroso compounds. Nitrate-nitrogen (NO 3 -N) levels found in these wells ranged from 49 to 458 mg/£; one sample had a NO 3 -N concentration of < 0.1 mg/A. The sampling included wells with histories of both high and low bacterial counts. The possi¬ bility of the formation of nitrites by bacterial reduction of nitrates was considered. The wells were used as drinking water sources until a few years ago; because of the known high nitrate concentrations, most are now used only for other purposes. N-nitroso compounds were found (< 15 ng/£) in the samples from these wells with high nitrate content. Surveillance for Inorganic Contaminants in Drinking Water Many inorganic chemicals in drinking water are potentially toxic at certain concentrations. The Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations present maximum contaminant levels for 10 inorganics: arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, fluoride, lead, mercury, nitrate, selenium, and silver. All the water utilities sampled in the National Organics Recon¬ naissance Survey were analyzed for these inorganics. In addition, several other EPA projects are investigating the presence of these and other inorganic chemicals in drinking water, as discussed below. Extensive efforts have been directed to radionuclides and asbestos; because of the special nature of these contaminants, they will be discussed separately. 18 Analyses of Drinking Water Utilities Until the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Federal Govern¬ ment's authority to regulate drinking water was limited to interstate carrier water supply utilities. At about six-year intervals, a survey of each of the approximately 700 utilities is made jointly by the states and the EPA Regional Offices. At the time of the survey, a water sample is collected and analyzed for the chemicals limited by the 1962 U.S. Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards. Tabulations of these data are published in the Chemical Analysis of Interstate Carrier Water Supply Systems. The results published in October 1973 indicate that chromium, lead, and mercury were found in concentrations that exceed the Drinking Water Standard limits in some instances. Mercury, which most frequently exceeded the limit, did so in only 1.5 percent of the samples analyzed. This report was updated in April 1975. Special Studies in Selected Water Utilities An analysis of drinking water quality at the consumer's tap was performed using samples collected in the Community Water Supply Survey of 1969. The concentrations of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, selenium, and fluoride that were found in public drinking water utilities instances exceeded the U.S. Public Health Service Drinking Water Standard limits. Of the 2,595 distribution samples analyzed, fluoride, that most frequently .exceeded the proposed limits, did so in only 2.2 percent of the samples; the lead limit was exceeded in only 1.4 percent of the samples; and the nitrate-nitrogen limit in 2.1 percent of the samples. With respect to the suspected inorganic carcinogens, the arsenic limit was exceeded in 0.4 percent of the samples, and the selenium limit in 0.4 percent. Water occasionally is contaminated by metals from corroded plumbing. Special studies of the lead content in drinking water have shown that approximately one-fourth' of the homes surveyed in Boston and in Seattle have lead in their tap water in amounts exceeding the 1962 U.S. PHS Drinking Water Standard limit for lead. Preliminary data from the Boston study indicate that lead is present in high enough concentrations in the drinking water to affect the total body burden. In both Boston and Seattle, lead levels in drinking water were frequently reduced to below the PHS limit if the water was allowed to run before sampling. As a long-term solution, however, a means of reducing the corrosion of the pipes is critical. Various methods of accomplishing this are being tried in the Boston and Seattle areas. In addition, EPA and the National Heart and Lung Institute are jointly studying the inorganics present in approximately 120 community water utilities in 350 areas selected to be representative of U.S. water utilities. Some 28 elements and other parameters will be investigated. An attempt will be made to determine the effects of drinking water quality on health, especially the correlation between soft drinking water and heart disease mortality. The field work has nearly been completed and analysis of the data is in progress. Because some utilities are being sampled over a 12-month period, a final report is not expected until late 1976, or early 1977. 19 O ccurrence of Radioactivity in Drinking Water Radium in drinking water is primarily a problem of smaller public water systems. About 40 percent of the U.S. population is served by 200 regional systems supplying large metropolitan areas. Yet, most of the nation's 50,000 community water utilities serve fewer than 1,000 persons. Large regional systems utilize surface water that generally contains very low concentrations of radium. Small utilities commonly use ground water that in some cases may contain radium as the result of geological conditions not subject to control. Radium-226 is the most important of the naturally occurring radionuclides likely to be found in public water systems. As shown in Table 7, the average radium-226 level in 36 interstate carrier water supply utilities was 0.28 pCi/£ (picocuries per liter). In contrast to radium, man-made radioactivity is ubiquitous in surface water because of radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing. In some localities this radioactivity is increased by small releases from nuclear facilities (such as nuclear power plants), hos¬ pitals, and scientific and industrial users of radioactive materials. The residual radioactivity in surface waters from fallout caused by atmospheric nuclear weapons testing is mainly strontium-90 and tritium, the former being the more important in health considerations. Current data on the impact of strontium-90 on public water utilities are incomplete. The available data (Table 7), however, indicate strontium-90 concentrations averaged < 1 pCi per liter, corresponding to a dose equivalent of less than 1 millirem 1 (mrem) annually. Tritium concentrations in surface water rarely exceed 1000 pCi per liter, corresponding to a dose equivalent of less than 0.2 mrem per year, and averaged 200 pCi/n. These levels are well below the maximum contaminant levels set forth in the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations for radioactivity. As part of the Agency's Environmental Radiation Monitoring System (ERAMS), measurements of tritium radioactivity are made in drinking water samples from 77 major population centers and communities near selected nuclear facilities. Results of the 1974 ERAMS survey are included in Appendix IV. In 1974, the highest observed concentration of tritium was less than 20 percent of the maximum contaminant level for radioactivity now prescribed for drinking water. The average concentration was about one percent of this level. Additional data on radioactivity in community water systems should become available as States begin to implement monitoring requirements established under the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations. l A millirem is one-thousandth of a rem, the unit of dose equivalent from ionizing radiation that produces a biological effect. 20 Table 7 SUMMARY OF INTERSTATE CARRIER WATER SUPPLY RADIONUCLIDE DATA (January - March 1975) Number Total of Samples Quantified Average Level in Quantified Samples Remarks Gross Beta 61 61 2.9 pCi/£ — Gross Alpha 61 1 5.5 pCi/£ 60 Samples <2 pCi/£ 90 Sr 46 19 0.82 pCi/£ 27 Samples <0.5 pCi/£ 226 Ra 46 36 0.28 pCi/£ 10 Samples <0.1 p Ci/£ Specific Gamma Activity 61 - None Detected - Jan-Mar 1974 Tritiurn 71 33 200 pCi/£ 38 Samples <200 pCi/£ Survey of Rural Drinking Water Supplies Section 3 of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires the Administrator to survey rural water systems to determine the quality, quantity, and availability of water supplies for rural Americans. EPA has designed a survey of 5300 randomly selected rural households to assess, among other things, the availability of water, water sources, and the quality of drinking water. In addition to bacteriological analyses of water samples to detect the presence of contamination (total coliform, fecal coliform, standard plate count), chemical and radiological analyses will be performed. All samples will be analyzed for specific conductance, nitrate-nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, sodium, lead, sulfates, manganese, iron, turbidity, and color. Every tenth sample will also be analyzed for the inorganic chemicals in the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium, silver, nitrate, lead, and fluoride) and for chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides and herbicides, gross alpha, and radium 226/228. The survey is scheduled to begin in 1976 and will be completed in one year. 21 Analyses for Asbestos Fibers in Drinking Water Asbestos fibers in the drinking water of Duluth, Minnesota, have been, at least partially, traced to industrial discharges into Lake Superior. Monitoring studies in other locations indicate non-industrial sources of asbestos, such as asbestos-cement pipe or naturally occurring asbestos, as well. These findings suggest that asbestos may be widely distributed in drinking water throughout the nation. Review of Asbestos in DuluthMinnesota A few months after the presence of asbestos fibers in Duluth's potable water was confirmed in the fall of 1973, EPA began periodic asbestos analyses of the raw water. These analyses, for amphibole masses by x-ray diffraction and for asbestos fibers by electron microscopy, demonstrated the continuing presence of asbestos fibers. Additional data on amphibole mass values and asbestiform fiber counts were obtained during five months of pilot plant filtration research at Duluth. In addition to these studies, an extensive lake sampling program showed that the concentration of asbestos fibers was highest near the industrial discharge and declined steadily at increasing distances from the discharge. Extended periods of easterly and northeasterly winds in western Lake Superior may raise the amphibole mass concentration at the Duluth intake by promoting circulation from the industrial discharge area and by resuspending recently settled amphibole-rich sediments by wave action in shallow parts of the lake. Sediments are particularly susceptible to resuspension when the western end of the lake is isothermal. Selected Analyses for Asbestos In the process of attempting to develop a procedure for the routine analysis of asbestos in water, EPA selected some'samples from interstate carrier water suppy utilities. Only nine of the 63 samples (14 percent) had counts in excess of 500 thousand fibers per liter (f /i). Furthermore, only five of these cities (8 percent) had counts over one million f/£. The five cities were Duluth, Minnesota; North Troy, Vermont; Seattle, Washington (Tolt River supply); Skidaway Island, Georgia (atypical fiber type); and San Francisco, California. These findings prompted EPA to develop the nationwide asbestos sampling program described below. National Asbestos-Sampling Program A nationwide asbestos sampling program is underway to determine the environmental levels of asbestos resulting from discharges from various sources. Sampling locations have been chosen that include four major categories of asbestos discharges. A "natural site" category was selected because known asbestos rock formations may contribute significant amounts of asbestos in run-off or emissions because of natural weathering processes. Other categories include "asbestos mining"; "mining of other 22 ores," such as talc and vermiculite, which may also be sources of asbestos; and "asbestos manufacturing." For all categories, both air and water samples are being taken. Over 60 sampling sites have been chosen, including the water utilities of several major cities, such as San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. In addition, 20 to 30 other drinking water utilities are being sampled. Although fiber counts in discharges from asbestos plants have been found as high as 10 billion f/i of effluent, dilution of the discharge in asbestos-free waters can reduce these levels downstream to minimal levels, generally well below the level of detection by electron microscopy. In one case, a discharge in excess of 10 billion f/i was calculated to be diluted to approximately 2000 f/i downstream. On the other hand, even in the absence of active asbestos mining, water sampled in areas with naturally occurring asbestos have shown counts in excess of 10 million f/i of chrysotile plus 10 million f/i of asbestiform amphibole fibers. Because the geological degradation processes in these natural site areas have probably been reasonably constant over a considerable period of time, the asbestos levels in the surface water of these areas have probably been equally constant. Accordingly, the medical records of populations in such areas could provide useful data on the effects of prolonged ingestion of asbestos fibers. Results of Investigations of Asbestos from Asbestos Cement (A-C) Ripe Erosion Erosion of asbestos fibers from the walls of asbestos-cement (A-C) pipe used in water distribution systems may be a source of asbestos in drinking water. Investigations of this possibility involve a controlled experiment with water of a known chemical quality circulated through two 100-foot lengths of A-C pipe. One pipe is four inches in diameter, the other six inches. Weekly samples of the effluent are being analyzed by electron microscopy to determine whether or not asbestos fibers are released from the pipe wall. For the period May to September 1975, the chrysotile asbestos fiber counts ranged from 14 to 1950 f/i in the four-inch pipe, and from 360 to 2670 f/i in the six-inch pipe. The average chrysotile count during this period was 475 f/i for the four-inch and 1350 f/i for the six-inch pipe. The water being used was "mildly aggressive," with pH 7.5 and total hardness of 20 mg /i. Disturbance probably causes an increase in fiber release. A sample taken following disconnection and reassembly of the six-inch pipe had 19,000 chrysotile f/i. In contrast, the current (November 1975) fiber counts have declined to 86 chrysotile f/i. The pipes will be drilled and tapped to determine how these operations affect fiber counts. A "very aggressive" water, with pH 5.5 and total hardness of 20 mg/£, will be tested following completion of the test now in progress. 23 Another phase of this project is investigating tap waters in locations where water low in asbestos fibers flows some distance through A-C pipe prior to use. Bimonthly analyses are being made to determine whether asbestos fiber content increases in water which passes through A-C pipe. Systems using A-C pipe are being selected to provide a wide range of "aggressiveness," as determined by the pH and hardness, of the water. Thus far, of the six systems selected, some waters have been sampled only once or twice while others have been sampled and analyzed five or six times. These preliminary data indicate that only the two more "aggressive" waters, Pensacola, Florida, (Montclair Subdivision) and Seattle, Washington, contain relatively high numbers of fibers. Pensacola water, classed as "most aggressive," had 0.7 to 32 million f/£, and Seattle water, which was "somewhat less aggressive," had 0.4 to 1.5 million f/£. 24 HEALTH EFFECTS OF DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANTS With the aid of modern analytical techniques, such as gas chro¬ matography, mass spectrometry, and atomic absorption, many types of organic chemicals and heavy metals have been detected in drinking water for the first time. Knowledge of the health effects of most of these contaminants, particularly in the low concentrations that occur in drinking water, is inadequate. Complete analyses of the health risks involved should include evaluation of human exposure to these chemicals from all sources, including contaminants in food and in the air. Although the efforts described below are extensive, they represent only the beginning of the research needed to assess fully the health effects of drinking water contaminants. Since the June report, data obtained from the National Organics Reconnaissance Survey have been compared with cancer mortality occurring in populations served by the water utilities surveyed. Two other epidemiology studies have focused on the association between chloroform in drinking water and cancer mortality, and the correlation between fluoridation and cancer incidence. The results of these preliminary analyses are reported here. Other new material includes discussion of a proposed study on arsenic, estimation of risk from radiation, and studies concerning effects of asbestos. Review of Drinking Water Contaminants by the National Academy of Sciences In fulfilling its responsibilities under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA has arranged for a study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to provide health data for setting maximum contaminant levels in drinking water. NAS will provide information and scientific judgments concerning the health effects that might be expected at various ranges of concentrations for the contaminants. This information will enable the Administrator to determine appropriate health goals for these contaminants and then, after considering technological and economic feasibility, to establish levels for National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. For those contaminants for which a sufficient data base exists, NAS will make recommendations concerning the relationships between con¬ taminant levels and health effects. Among the factors the Academy will consider are the margin of safety required to protect particularly susceptible segments of the population; exposure to the contaminants by other routes; synergism among contaminants; and the relative risks of different levels of exposure to the contaminants. 25 The Academy will also investigate and report those contaminants that may pose a threat to human health, but whose current level in drinking water cannot be determined. For those contaminants, the Aca¬ demy will recommend studies and test protocols for future research. The project, initiated in April 1975, is scheduled for completion by De¬ cember 16, 1976. This NAS review of drinking water contaminants should provide an overview of the drinking water problem that will be essential in determining future national strategies. Development of Quality Criteria for Water In addition to the studies being conducted by the National Academy of Sciences to recommend maximum contaminant levels, EPA is developing Quality Criteria for Water pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Section 304(a)(1) of PL 92-500). These criteria are being developed to provide a scientific basis for estab¬ lishing ambient water quality goals. These goals should be useful as benchmarks for setting water quality standards, including State Water Quality Standards, Effluent Guidelines, and the 1979 Interim Raw Source Drinking Water Standards for the Safe Drinking Water Act (Section 1401(1)(D) of the PHS Act, as amended by PL 93-523). Included in the list of about 60 constituents are organic and inorganic materials, in¬ cluding some suspected carcinogens. Other Investigations of the Health Effects of Organics EPA Science Advisory Board Review of Selected Organics EPA has sought the advice of its Science Advisory Board regarding potential carcinogenic or other adverse health effects resulting from exposure to organic compounds in drinking water. Principal attention was directed to the compounds listed in Table 8, particularly chloro¬ form, carbon tetrachloride, chloroethers, and benzene. 2 The Board prefaced its Report with the caveat that the chemicals thus far identified in drinking water account for only a small fraction of the total organic content, as previously noted in this Report. Thus, the possibility exists that additional substances of equal or greater toxicological significance may be in drinking water. The Board also expressed concern that future studies should take into account possible synergistic effects of common combinations of contaminants. It recom¬ mended that a complete analysis of the problem consider data from all routes of exposure, such as dietary and occupational exposure, to these substances in addition to drinking water. Some of these additional sources of exposure may pose a much greater potential intake than the consumption of drinking water. 2 A Report: Assessment of Health Risk from Organics in Drinking Water , Hazardous Materials Advisory Committee, Science Advisory Board, Environmental Protection Agency, May 20, 1975. 26 Table 8 SELECTED CONTAMINANTS IN U.S. DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES Contaminant(s) Concentrations in yg/£ Estimated Distribution* Carbon Tetrachloride <2 - 3 10 % Chloroform <0.1 - 311* ** 100 % Other Halogenated Ci and C 2 <0.3 - 229 100 % Bis(2-chloroethyl)eiher 0.02 - 0.12 low 3 -chloroethylmethyl ether unknown low Acetylenedichloride <1 low Hexachlorobutadiene 0.2 low Benzene (inc.

The Board indicated that, in general, for all the compounds reviewed, the carcinogenicity data and experimental designs were either inappro¬ priate or below the standard of current toxicological practice and protocols for carcinogenicity testing. Additional wel1-designed ex¬ perimental studies to determine the carcinogenicity of lifetime ex¬ posures by ingestion are sorely needed. The Board concluded that some human health risk does exist from exposure through drinking water, although this risk is currently un- quantifiable. This conclusion was based on evidence of widespread con¬ tamination of drinking water, particularly by chloroform. Laboratory animal studies indicate production of hepatomas by chloroform, but experimental carcinogenesis data for chloroform at that time (May 1975) were extremely limited. The Board recommended that EPA seek ways to reduce exposure to these compounds without increasing the risk of in¬ fectious disease. As described in a later Section, EPA has been reviewing various chlorination practices to determine whether simple modifications might minimize the formation of chloroform and other chlorinated organics. According to the Board's report, carbon tetrachloride, a demonstrated carcinogen in laboratory studies, occurs in drinking water generally at much lower levels and is much less widespread than chloroform and related trihalomethanes. Benzene has not been clearly established to be carcinogenic in experimental animals, although epidemiological and clinical studies, largely of occupational exposures, suggest its possible carcinogenicity. Certain haloethers, chloro-olefins, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons have 27 been demonstrated to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals and have been identified in drinking water. Further sampling and analyses are necessary to determine the levels to which the public is exposed to these contaminants. The survey described earlier to monitor additional water utilities should help provide this information. Data from epidemiological studies on the contaminants of primary concern to the Board were very limited and the designs of studies were generally inadequate for a conclusive assessment of health risk. Recent studies all-eging an association of high cancer incidence in New Orleans with consumption of contaminated drinking water were considered by the Board to be useful for forming hypotheses for future epidemiological studies, but were not indicative of any clear cancer hazard. Numerous other variables might explain the apparent associations. Experimental toxicology studies suggest that, if a carcinogenic risk did exist, increased liver cancer would be a probable finding. This was not, however, revealed by the epidemiological studies. As part of its recommendations to EPA, the Board suggested that epidemiological studies be undertaken to relate drinking water contamination with differences in cancer incidence or other effects in exposed populations. Some of these studies are described in a later Section of this Report. Experimental Evaluation of the Toxicity of Organics Although the occurrence of organic compounds in tap water is universally accepted, the human health effects of exposure to these compounds via drinking water are as yet unclear. Of those compounds known to occur in tap water (Appendix II), a relatively large number require intensive investigation to generate suitable data for health hazard evaluations. Data are needed to evaluate whether these compounds might produce tumors, genetic mutations, birth defects, or other equally serious chronic diseases. EPA is actively engaged in research to elucidate chemically-induced chronic illnesses from organics present in the Nation's drinking water. EPA will determine whether certain organic contaminants in drinking water pose a risk to human health and to characterize that risk, if any. A two-pronged approach is used to investigate organics in drinking water. The first determines the toxic properties of individual compounds with specialized protocols and systems. The second emphasizes the toxic properties of mixtures of organics with the use of multiple biological screening systems. Several compounds are being investigated with respect to their toxicity and metabolism in experimental species. These compounds in¬ clude bis(2-chloroethyl) ether, bis(2-chloroisopropyl) ether, dibro- mochloromethane, bromodichloromethane, the homologous series of chlo¬ rinated benzenes, and the homologous series of brominated benzenes. Comparative metabolism studies are being conducted to determine the animal models that are most predictive of responses in man. Com¬ parative toxicity studies (both acute and chronic) have been undertaken 28 to determine types of pathological lesions, target organs, reversibility of the lesions, and threshold doses associated with each compound. Specialized studies are being carried out to examine the possible role of the halogen-substituted benzenes in synergistically altering the toxicity of other foreign organic compounds. The investigation of the toxicity of mixtures of organics from drinking water is being pursued with the use of several bioassay pro¬ cedures. Organic extracts from the drinking water of five U.S. cities (See Table 3, cities in Series I) are being collected for analyses by these biological systems. If these extracts demonstrate activity suggestive of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, or other serious effects, they will be chemically fractionated to isolate the active portion(s). Ultimate fractionation should lead to the identification of the toxic agents. These compounds will then be subjected to more definitive toxicity tests to assess the human health hazard. Finally, the National Cancer Institute is studying chloroform in an attempt to assess the health effects of ingesting chloroform and to provide data for evaluating any health risks associated with the presence of chloroform in drinking water. The results of this very important study, which involves both rats and mice in a two-year experiment, are expected to be reported soon. Three other efforts to determine mutagenic effects may also be useful in predicting the carcinogenic'potential of the tested compounds. One study has used histidine-dependent mutant strains of Salmonella typimurium to screen water at various locations in the lower Mississippi River to determine the presence of potential mutagens/carcinogens. Water samples were screened without concentration both directly and after activation by use of liver homogenates. After a number of samples were found to be positive, the study was expanded to include the screening of raw and finished waters of other utilities using the lower Mississippi River in addition to some using ground water. A second study involves an EPA contract now underway to test the mutagenic properties of 85 chemical compounds. Approximately 20 of these compounds will probably be organics found in drinking water. In vitro mutagenicity testing will be done on Salmonella 3 E. coli 3 and yeast, using metabolic activating systems derived from mammalian livers. In a third study, EPA is developing preliminary information on the po¬ tential mutagenicity of substances that might be produced during the ozonation process. A number of chemical compounds are being subjected to conditions similar to those encountered during disinfection processes using ozone. The ozonation product mixtures are being tested to determine the potential mutagenic effects on certain microorganisms. Health Effects of Organics Occurring in Nature (Humic Substances) As noted before, organics thus far identified in drinking water represent only a small percentage of the total organics recoverable from drinking water. The remaining fraction is heterogeneous and includes mixtures of high molecular weight organics not susceptible to rigorous chemical definition. 29 When subjected to chlorine or ozone treatment, humic substances might produce either halogenated organic compounds or oxidized forms, including peroxides or epoxides, that may be hazardous to man. Studies concerning the chemistry and toxicology of humic substances that occur naturally in water are being planned. Epidemiological Studies Epidemiology, the study of the occurrence of disease in selected human populations, is difficult because precise data on environmental exposure are seldom available. Epidemiological studies of chronic diseases, for example, must make use of death certificate data that are not always indicative of the underlying causes of death. Nonetheless, epidemiology is based on a study of actual conditions and any indication of an adverse health effect should be seriously evaluated. Environmental Levels of Organics and Health Effects An investigation scheduled to begin shortly will seek to identify and measure environmental concentrations of selected halogenated organic compounds and to determine the correlations of various concentrations with health effects observed in the exposed population. This study will focus on areas suspected of having high levels of these organics in the environment and areas known to have a high incidence of cancer. Comparative analyses will be made of other areas with moderate and low environmental levels of the substances. The project should be completed in the spring of 1976. Estimating Exposure to Organics EPA plans to explore the correlation between the concentrations of organics that have been measured in each drinking water and the number of users of that water. Extrapolations from these data to national exposure curves will be attempted. The estimate of national exposure to organics, in conjunction with the various local exposure levels, will assist in providing a basis for estimating health risks. Correlation of Cancer Mortality with Chloroform Content of Drinking Water Data obtained from the National Organics Reconnaissance Survey have been compared with cancer mortality occurring in populations served by these water utilities. One preliminary study has indicated a statisti¬ cally significant correlation between the cancer mortality for all anatomical sites and both sexes combined in the years 1969-71 with the chloroform concentration in the samples collected in spring 1975. Such a correlation was not noted with total mortality or with the sum of the con¬ centrations of the four trihalomethanes in the drinking waters. 30 In this analysis, only data from 50 of the 80 water utilities could be utilized. Some of the cities were only partially served by one of the water utilities sampled and some of the cities were too small to have data available on mortality. A similar epidemiological analysis of 43 cities from the Region V survey of 83 cities (Appendix V) did not show a statistically significant correlation between chloroform and cancer mortality in contrast to the finding above. Data concerning the chloroform concentrations in nine water utilities have been analyzed using the average of the two samples (NORS and Region V) collected for each utility. A statistically significant correlation was again found between chloroform concentration in the drinking water and cancer mortality for all disease sites and both sexes combined. These epidemiological studies had several data validation problems and should be considered preliminary. These preliminary results do, however, underline the need for more definitive analyses. The National Cancer Institute also studied the correlation of cancer incidence at a number of anatomical sites with the presence of chloroform in drinking water. The study looked at only a small number of counties, however, and the results were inconclusive. Another study at NCI focused on the effects of natural and artificial fluoridation. This study failed to produce evidence linking natural or artifical fluoridation of public water supplies to cancer. Evaluation of Health Risks from Inorganics Some of the inorganic chemicals that investigators have suggested may be potentially carcinogenic in drinking water under certain circum¬ stances are arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. Some studies and brief assessments of the carcinogenicity of these inorganics are described below. All the metals are being tested for mutagenicity. Arsenic, beryllium, nickel, and cadmium have been tested in a bio¬ assay system using cultured mammalian cells to determine mutagenicity. Of these inorganics, beryllium and cadmium were found to produce muta¬ tions; the others yielded no mutants, probably because they were either not mutagenic or too weakly mutagenic to permit detection in this par¬ ticular assay. Although arsenic has been associated with the occurrence of cancer, its exact role as a carcinogen has not been determined. Exposure appar¬ ently must be high and occur over an extended period of time before skin cancer develops. At certain exposure levels, however, arsenic is generally recognized to be acutely and chronically toxic to man. In view of the recent reduction in permissible arsenic concentrations set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for the workplace, EPA is reviewing the concentrations allowed in drinking water. In addition, EPA is currently considering a study to help clarify risks associated with exposure to arsenic. The first, part of a larger study on various toxic substances, involves the relationship between 31 environmental exposure to inorganic arsenic and health effects. Popula¬ tions exposed to significant amounts of arsenic would be the subjects of epidemiological studies to help determine the health effects of arsenic exposure. A second study just beginning seeks to determine the body burden of arsenic in humans who consume drinking water containing arsenic at or exceeding the current maximum contaminant level of 0.05 mg per liter. Nitrate concentrations in drinking water have been limited because of the possibility that infants who ingest water high in nitrates may develop methemoglobinemia. In addition, a possibility exists that nitrates may be one of the precursors of nitrosamine formation. This reaction, however, was demonstrated at much higher concentrations than would normally occur in water. Existing health effects evidence does not conclusively show whether selenium is carcinogenic. After a complete review of its health ef¬ fects, the Food and Drug Administration last year concluded that sele¬ nium could be safely used as an additive to animal feed. Very low levels of selenium are apparently necessary for red blood cell inte¬ grity. On the other hand, some FDA critics are concerned because seve¬ ral animal studies show that tumors were developed from exposure to selenium. The doses used in those experiments were very high, however. Estimate of Risk from Radiation Radionuclides are recognized carcinogens. Following the recom¬ mendation made by the National Academy of Sciences, EPA bases its es¬ timates of the health effects of radiation exposure through ingestion of drinking water on the assumption that no harmless dose level exists and that any health effects produced will be linear and proportional to the radiation dose received from drinking water. Eighty to 85 percent of ingested radium is deposited in bone. Other organs are also irradiated to a lesser extent, however, and the total health risk from radium ingestion has been estimated by summing the dose and resultant risk from all organs. Risk estimates indicate that continuous consumption of drinking water containing radium-226 and radium-228 at the proposed maximum contaminant level of 5 pCi/£ may cause between 0.7 and 3 fatal cancers per year per million exposed persons. Assessment of Effects of Oral Ingestion of Asbestos Toxicity Although the development of cancer from exposure to airborne asbestos has been documented by epidemiological studies, the effects of ingested asbestos have not yet been determined. Several current projects are studying various aspects of this problem, including asbestos absorption 32 in the gastrointestinal tract, the possible correlation between cancer incidence and asbestos in drinking water, and the toxicology of ingested asbestos in rats. Research on the problem of ingested asbestos in man has revealed that excessive gastrointestinal cancer and peritoneal (abdominal) mesotheliomas (neoplasms of the lining cells) occur in workers exposed to airborne asbestos. Scientists believe that the workers under study ingested asbestos particles that were in their mouths and respiratory tracts and that this ingestion is related to the incidence of cancer. EPA is studying the passage of asbestos fibers through the gastroin¬ testinal tract in an effort to evaluate this aspect of ingestion exposure. One study involves labelling asbestos with tritium to elucidate the mechanism of asbestos absorption. In a very important project, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has funded a toxicological study of the ingestion of various asbestiform types. This four-year study is expected to begin shortly. Epidemiology Several studies have focused on the possible correlation between asbestos in drinking water and the incidence of cancer. These studies represent the beginning of work in this area. Because of the long latency period between exposure and the development of the disease, data being developed must be viewed as baseline. Two studies of the popu¬ lation of Duluth, Minnesota, where the concentrations of asbestos fibers in drinking water were very high, have recorded no unusually high incidence of cancer. In a National Cancer Institute study, risk ratios were calculated for Duluth in comparison to the State of Minnesota and Hennepin County (Minneapolis). Of 21 cancer sites in the body, only cancer of the rectum had an excess that was statistically significant and highest in the latest 5-year period of the comparison. The authors felt that this finding was probably not related to asbestos exposure. A second study, conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health, in cooperation with the University of Minnesota and the Center for Disease Control, was based on cancer incidence data instead of mortality and compared Duluth with the Twin Cities. No clear pattern of difference in gastrointestinal cancer incidence existed among the three cities in 1969-1971. This study is currently being continued, however, to include cases of gastrointestinal cancer recorded in 1973 and 1974 in the three cities as well as cases recorded in smaller communities (Two Harbors, Silver Bay, and Beaver Bay, Minnesota) where asbestos fiber counts are known to be even higher. In cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Health, the Mayor and Chief Health Officer of Duluth have organized a reporting system 33 wherein all physicians are requested to report cases of diagnosed mesotheliomas. All cases will be interviewed to obtain occupational and residential histories. A retrospective study of all deaths caused by mesothelioma in Minnesota during a five-and-one-half year period was undertaken by the Minnesota Department of Health to see if more cases without occupational histories occur in the Duluth area. The results of this study indicate that in almost every case mesotheliomas were asso¬ ciated with some asbestos exposure other than through drinking water. Finally, a study of lung cancer incidence data is planned to search for additional cases of asbestos-related cancer during the period 1969 to 1974. 34 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION Investigations underway address a variety of suspected sources of contaminants, such as industrial effluents, municipal waste treatment facilities, chlorination of drinking water, agricultural runoff, and landfills. These investigations are discussed below. Industrial Sources EPA is identifying substances remaining in municipal and industrial wastes and sludges after various treatment processes. This effort will provide information on the presence of substances that are potentially damaging to man and the environment; provide data on the effectiveness of various treatments; and allow identification of the sources of organics in water at microgram per liter or greater concentrations. Several studies of industrial effluents have produced an extensive inventory of organics that suggests that industrial sources may be major contributors of organics found in drinking water. Two of the substances in drinking water that have been rather clearly identified as suspected carcinogens, chloroform and bis(2-chloroethyl) ether, appear in industrial wastes and not in domestic sewage, an alternate possible source. As noted earlier in this Report, however, the major source of chloroform in drinking water is from chlorination practice, not industrial discharges. Extensive studies are needed to provide further information on the relationship between industrial discharges and the appearance of organics in drinking water. Systematic studies of the composition of industrial effluents are on-going. EPA also is considering a program that will help identify the industrial sources of organics discharged into river basins that feed a number of public drinking water supplies. The goal of this program would be to correlate the organics appearing in particular drinking waters with specific industrial discharges. Over 200 organics identified in various drinking waters have been examined to determine possible point source discharges during manufacture and use; possible non-point sources; persistence; methods of removal; and gross estimates of total discharge. Some preliminary data have been collected on industrial discharges. A report describing these efforts, along with preliminary recommendations, should be available in the summer of 1977. The generation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes of the following 13 industry categories are currently under investigation: Pharmaceuticals; Paint and Allied Products; Storage and Primary Battery Manufacturing; Inorganic Chemicals; Petroleum Refining, Primary Metals; Metals Mining; Electroplating and Metal Finishing; Organic Chemicals; Pesticides and Explosives; Textiles; Rubber and Plastics; Leather 35 Tanning and Finishing; and Machinery (except Electrical). These studies relate to the problem of carcinogens in drinking water insofar as they clarify the types and quantities of recognized and potential carcinogens that are disposed on land and subsequently might be transmitted to nearby surface and ground waters. The first study (storage and primary battery manufacturers) has been completed; the last in the series is expected to be issued by the summary of 1976. Discharges from Municipal Waste Treatment Facilities Efforts are underway to determine the contributions of municipal waste treatment practices and effluents to the presence of organic chemicals in drinking waters. Under contract to EPA, a procedure for separating and tentatively identifying refractory organics from municipal waste treatment facilities was developed. The procedure, which is capable of detecting organics at the microgram-per-1iter level, was applied to the study of primary and secondary effluents. In primary effluents, identified compounds included simple carbohydrates, amino acids, and other compounds apparently of metabolic origin. These same substances were found in both chlorinated and unchlorinated effluents. Several chlorinated compounds identified in chlorinated primary and secondary effluents have been determined to be by-products of chlorination. Although these compounds have not necessarily been identified in drinking water, their presence in various wastewaters suggests that some might also be found in drinking water. As part of the industrial source program described earlier, a pre¬ liminary literature search has been conducted to determine which organics have been identified in municipal waste treatment effluents and which are likely to be present either from industrial discharge or as a result of biological treatment or chlorination. The preliminary results show that 23 of the organics identified in drinking water have been positively identified in municipal waste treatment effluents; an additional 27 may be found as intermediates or final products of biological treatment; and 42 could be produced during chlorination of treatment effluents. In addition to determining whether municipal waste treatment .practices and effluents are significant sources of organics in drinking water, investigations are also directed to assess whether control can be achieved by regulating industrial discharges to sewer systems or whether further treatment of municipal waste treatment effluents is required.' A report describing these efforts and recommending steps that could be taken to minimize the problem will be completed in June 1977. 36 Chlorination of Drinking Water As yet, no acceptable substitute exists for chlorine as a disin¬ fectant that produces a residual, and the health hazards of foregoing chlorination would be severe. ^At the same time, concern is increasing over the effect of chlorination on organic materials found in natural and waste waters. In 1974, the following compounds were identified as formed by chlorination of drinking water: chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and bromoform. Naturally occurring humic substances are thought to be precursors of these trihalomethanes. The maximum concentra¬ tions found were: chloroform, 54 yg/£; bromodichloromethane, 20 yg/£; dibromochloromethane, 13 yg/£; and bromoform, 10 yg/£. A later study confirmed the presence of these trihalomethanes in a variety of finished drinking waters from Ohio, Indiana, and Alabama. These findings prompted studies to determine which factors influence the rate and extent of trihalomethane formation during chlorination, and which other halogenated compounds might be formed at the same time. Studies were conducted to compare the rate and extent of chloroform formation when chlorine was added to raw river water, dual-media filtered water, and water treated by granular activated carbon. These experiments were carried out at constant pH and at 25°C. When sufficient chlorine was added to satisfy the chlorine demand for the duration of the experi¬ ment, chlorination of raw river water yielded approximately seven times as much chloroform as did chlorination of the coagulated, settled, and dual-media filtered water, and approximately 80 times as much as did chlorination of the fresh granular activated carbon filter effluent (207 yg/£, 32 yg/£, and 2.7 yg/£, respectively, in 7+ days). The rate of chloroform formation in the river water was approximately 10 to 15 yg/£/hour for the first six hours. Similar results have been obtained when the same experiments were conducted with realistic concentrations of humic acid, but not with simple acetyl derivatives (precursors in the classical haloform reaction). Acetone (a classical precursor known to be in raw waters) was shown to react at higher pH, however. Rates of reaction for both types of precursor also have been demonstrated to increase with pH. Concentrations of humic materials are probably reduced during alum coagulation, settling, and dual-media filtration, thereby reducing the rate and extent of chloroform formation by chlorination. These procedures may not have this effect, however, if chlorination is carried out at high pH, because the low molecular weight acetyl derivatives that react well at that pH are not likely to be so well removed by conventional water treatment. Experiments have demonstrated that monochloramine will not react with natural water precursors to form trihalomethanes, and that the reaction rate with free chlorine at pH 7 varies directly with temperature. 37 Other studies investigated the chlorination of approximately 50 ug/£ of nitromethane, benzene, toluene, and m-xylene. Under the conditions of the test, nine days of storage at 25°C, nitromethane was readily converted to chloropicrin, and m-xylene was readily converted to chioroxylene. Benzene did not react with the chlorine under these conditions, and toluene produced chlorotoluene rather slowly. These studies indicate that other chlorination by-products can occur during the chlorination process. The oxidation of bromide to hypobromite by hypochlorite and the subsequent reaction of hypobromite with precursor compounds to form bromo-substituted trihalomethanes has been demonstrated. This was done experimentally by adding fluoride, bromide, and iodide in the form of salts to Missouri River water and subsequently chlorinating that water. The detected reaction products included all ten possible non-fluoro mixed and single halogen-containing trihalomethanes. Controlled studies are continuing in an attempt to identify the individual compounds other than humic materials that react with chlorine to form trihalomethanes. After identification of these precursors, alternative pretreatment and treatment conditions will be investigated with the goal of minimizing trihalomethane production. Finally, investigations dealing with the formation of other haloge- nated organics that are by-products of chlorination, such as chlorophenol and dichlorobenzene, will continue. These studies will be carried out by a combination of in-house research and an extramural grant program for university investigators. Contamination by Agricultural Chemicals Two projects address the contamination of drinking water by agricul¬ tural chemicals. One is an assessment of the impact of intensive appli¬ cation of pesticides and fertilizers in underground water recharge areas that may contribute to drinking water supplies. A preliminary investi¬ gation has been done and a more detailed study should be completed by November 1976. All reported problems with pesticides have been local. Most pesticides have limited solubility in water and tend to accumulate in the soil. Subject to the actions of microorganisms in the soil, these pesticides can be metabolized to different compounds, a few of which may be more toxic than the parent compound. More information is needed to determine the sorptive properties of pesticides and their degradation products, as well as the geographic areas vulnerable to contamination. No significant problems resulting from potassium or phosphorus nutrients have been identified. Problems related to nitrogen seem to be localized. Nitrate has slowly continued to increase in the ground waters of areas where high concentrations of septic tanks, animal feed- lots over high water tables, consistent applications of nitrogen fertilizer. 38 and flash flooding occur. In certain areas, high concentrations of nitrates in ground water have resulted from natural sources, such as the degradation of vegetation. A second project, which is a part of the national survey of aldrin, dieldrin, and DDT described earlier, is an attempt to determine whether various water treatment techniques effectively remove pesticides found in raw sources of drinking water. An analysis of the pesticides present in raw and finished water should indicate whether statistically significant differences in treatment efficiency occur. Other Non-Point Sources of Organics EPA is attempting to estimate the contribution of non-point sources to the organic compounds found in river basins from which drinking water supplies are taken. This activity will help determine whether significant abatement can be achieved by regulation of point source discharges or whether extensive treatment of drinking water is necessary. A total of 154 organic chemicals identified in various drinking waters have been studied preliminarily to determine possible non-point sources of discharge, persistence, and methods of removal. A report including the origins and estimates of the nationwide burden of these chemicals as well as plans for major river basin investigations and adoption of a pilot program was published by EPA in April 1975, "Identi¬ fication of Organic Compounds in Effluents from Industrial Sources" (EPA-560/3-75-002). Further laboratory work is needed to clarify the speculative reactions reported to occur during chlorination. Various Land Disposal Practices and Water Contamination Several investigations are underway to clarify the possible correla¬ tion between disposal practices and contamination of drinking water. Monitoring of surface and ground waters at dumps and sanitary landfills is being conducted to determine whether the waters have been contaminated by materials present in the dumps or landfills. As a result of the contamination of surface and ground waters, drinking water may be contaminated. Monitoring has begun at seven of the 11 selected sites and should be completed by January 1976. Preliminary results from one dump site indicate that ground water in the vicinity has been polluted. The results from other sites will probably vary with climatological and physical parameters. Another project is entitled "Development of a Data Base for Deter¬ mining the Prevalence of Migration of Hazardous Chemical Substances into the Groundwater at Industrial Waste Land Disposal Sites." This study is expected to document the migration of hazardous substances, including some suspected carcinogens, from approximately 75 industrial land disposal sites, including dumps, landfills, lagoons, pits, and basins, into the Nation's ground waters. The primary objective of this effort is to provide data for developing future land disposal guidelines and standards. This investigation began in the fall of 1975 and should be completed in the summer of 1977. 39 TREATMENT TECHNIQUES FOR CONTROLLING CONTAMINANTS IN DRINKING WATER Overview of EPA Treatment Program During fiscal year 1976, EPA will spend almost $2.0 million to expand its research effort to develop the technology needed to control economically the concentration of carcinogenic contaminants in drinking water. Universities, research institutions, and operating water utilities will perform parts of this research under grants or contracts with EPA. This Section describes this effort and significantly expands upon the material in the June Report. The first part describes treatment process modifications intended to reduce the concentration of trihalomethanes in finished waters. This Section also presents the preliminary results of a major in-house research effort to determine under what conditions trihalomethanes or their precursors could be removed during water treatment. Five techniques have been studied and their effectiveness compared. In addition, an ongoing study on the removal of general organics with granular activated carbon beds, and future research plans involving pilot and full-scale research on treatment techniques are described. Techniques to control inorganics are discussed, including those directed to removing radionuclides and asbestos. Techniques for Controlling Organics Treatment Process Modification - Field Scale EPA is attempting to keep water utilities apprised of developments in controlling organics. For example, the common.practice of prechlori¬ nating raw surface water to ensure adequate disinfection is likely to produce twice the amount of trihalomethanes compared to chlorination after the water is coagulated and settled. For this reason, EPA has been urging water purveyors to review critically their chlorination practices to see if simple modifications (such as changing the point of chlorine application) can be made that would minimize the formation of chloroform yet still provide microbiologically safe drinking water. In an attempt to reduce the concentration of trihalomethanes in its finished water, one major water utility has made several operational changes in its 160 mgd water treatment plant. These changes include: 1. Moving the chlorination application point to follow the presettling basin stage in order to reduce the chlorine contact time (and thus the time for trihalomethane formation) and to improve the quality of water prior to chlorination. 40 2. Adding powdered activated carbon (PAC) to the raw water in an attempt to reduce the trihalomethane precursor concentration(s). 3. Adjusting the pH toward conditions less favorable for trihalo- methane formation. 4. Changing the coagulant dosage to improve precursor removal. 5. Reducing the chlorine dose consistent with bacteriological quality requirements. 6. Moving the point of chlorination to the last step in the treatment process. Data collected during these operation changes are still being analyzed, but preliminary results are favorable. Control of Specific Organics To date, the major treatment technique investigated for the removal of specific organics from drinking water has been granular activated carbon (GAC). About ten years ago, partially exhausted granular activated carbon was shown to remove dieldrin, lindane, 2,4,5-T, DDT, and parathion to below the detection limit of the available analytic methodology. About the same time, fresh granular activated carbon used to treat Kanawha River water was shown to remove bis (2-chloroethyl) ether, a-methylbenzyl alcohol, acetophenone, isophorone, and tetralin. This removal was effective for most of these compounds for about six weeks. More recent studies have shown that fresh granular activated carbon receiving finished water from Evansville, Indiana, removed all detectable bis (2-chloroethyl) ether and bis (2-chloroisopropyl) ether. Finally, a GAC column removed approximately 30 yg/£ of naphthalene spiked- into Cincinnati, Ohio, tap water for 8 months. After that time, although other organics were penetrating the bed, the naphthalene was being removed within the top 3 inches (10 cm) of the column. This indicates that GAC may be very effective in removing naphthalene. Removal of Trihalomethanes and Trihalomethane Precursors Since the fall of 1974, a major in-house research effort has been directed toward understanding under what conditions trihalomethanes or their precursors could be removed during water treatment. Because no test for trihalomethane precursors presently exists, the removal of trihalomethane precursors is measured by the concentration of trihalo¬ methanes, primarily chloroform, formed during chlorination after some specific treatment has been applied. This result is compared with the concentration of trihalomethanes formed from a control sample after similar chlorination. Granular Activated Carbon The removal of trihalomethane by granular activated carbon was studied by passing Cincinnati, Ohio, tap water over one coal-based and 41 one lignite-based granular activated carbon bed. For about one month, both columns removed all of the trihalomethanes, and then some chloroform began appearing in the effluent. Within ten weeks, both columns were exhausted for trihalomethane removal. At the same time, a pilot plant, made of stainless steel and glass, was treating 0.4 liters/minute (150 gal/day) of unchlorinated Ohio River water to demonstrate how effectively trihalomethane precursors could be removed. Studies have shown that coagulation of the river water with alum, sedimentation, and passage through a 30-inch (75 cm) GAC combination fi1 ter/adsorber was nearly 100 percent effective for removing trihalomethane precursors for two weeks; 50 percent effective for 10 weeks; and exhausted after 20 weeks. After 10 weeks, the amount of chloroform formed after a 4-day chlorine contact time was 16 yg/£. Finally, in a companion experiment, after 20 weeks of operation, a GAC filter/adsorber that was twice as deep as the one previously described was about 50 percent effective for trihalomethane precursor removal, indicating a direct relationship between performance and bed depth. Current experience indicates that the effective life of GAC for the removal of trihalomethane precursor is somewhat limited. Powdered Activated Carbon Doses of powdered activated carbon (PAC) much higher than ordinarily used in water treatment were required before any removal of trihalomethanes or trihalomethane precursors occurred. A PAC dose of 100 mg/£ resulted in only 50 percent removal of chloroform. Similarly, in a separate experiment, the same dose removed approximately 50 percent of the trihalo¬ methane precursors, as measured by the concentration of trihalomethanes after chlorination. Aeration Attempts were made to strip trihalomethanes, which have relatively low boiling points, from water using aeration techniques. Little, if any, success was obtained using diffused-air aeration with one-to-one air-to-water ratios and contact times typical of aeration in water treatment practice. On the other hand, larger doses of gas, up to fifteen-to- one gas-to-water ratios, removed approximately 50 percent' of the chloroform. Even higher gas-to-water ratios were required for essentially complete chloroform removal. Studies on aeration will continue, concentrating on spray rather than diffused-air aeration. Ozone Ozone was used after coagulation, settling, and mixed-media filtra¬ tion at a disinfection level dose (0.6 to 0.7 mg/£) and for approxi¬ mately 6 minutes of contact. This application of ozone did not result in reduction of trihalomethane precursors as evidenced by trihalomethane formation upon subsequent chlorination. Increasing the ozone dose 30 times still produced no reduction in trihalomethane precursors. Only at 42 an economically impractical dose, 350 times the disinfection dose, did a 30 percent reduction in trihalomethane precursors occur. To investigate the role that contact time plays in precursor reduction using ozone, batch studies have also been performed. These studies show that trihalomethane precursors are resistant to ozonation, at least under the test conditions selected. For example, two hours of continuous ozonation were required to reduce the trihalomethane precursor level in dual-media filter effluent by 50 percent. Batch studies have also shown that trihalomethane precursors are more readily removed by ozone from Ohio River water than from dual-media filtered water, probably because of their presence in much higher concentrations. Further studies will be directed towards raw water ozonation for trihalomethane precursor removal. Initial studies have shown that a dose of 24 mg/£ of ozone was not effective in removing trihalomethanes themselves. Chlorine Dioxide Because of its oxidizing properties, chlorine dioxide has been used to some extent for taste and odor control, but because of its cost, it is not widely used in water treatment practice for disinfection. In this study it is being used, however, as a disinfectant to investigate the formation of trihalomethanes. Pure chlorine dioxide can be formed by slowly adding 10 percent sulfuric acid to a 10 percent solution of sodium chlorite. Under these conditions, over a wide range of doses (0.15 - 6 mg/£) and contact times (30 min. to 4 days), no trihalomethanes were formed. Disinfection was satisfactory. When chlorine dioxide is used in water treatment, it is generated by reacting excess chlorine with sodium chlorite; therefore, chlorine dioxide is rarely encountered in practice without excess chlorine also present. Initial data indicate that when water is dosed with both chlorine dioxide and chlorine, trihalomethane formation occurs. The concentration formed is less than that with the equivalent amount of chlorine alone, however. At least under the test conditions studied, chlorine dioxide apparently has some influence on the reaction of chlorine and the trihalo¬ methane precursor(s). Treatment for General Organics An attempt is being made to produce continuously water low in organic content. If the organic content of the treated water is low, the likelihood that it contains any specific carcinogen is minimized. The parameter being used to judge the success of this experiment is non¬ volatile total organic carbon (NVT0C). The goal of this experiment is to produce continuously water with an NVT0C concentration - 100 yg/&. 43 The treatment method being studied is an upflow countercurrent, "moving bed" GAC column. Water enters the bottom of the column and flows upward through the GAC bed. NVTOC samples are periodically collected from the column influent, GAC bed midpoint, and column effluent. When the effluent NVTOC concentration exceeds 100 yg/£ and continues to show an upward trend for several days, one-half of the GAC is removed from the bottom of the bed and an equal quantity of fresh GAC is added at the top. Three bed depths of a coal-based GAC have been investigated for effectiveness in treating Cincinnati tap water. Using an 8-inch (27 cm) bed, the NVTOC limit was met for only 1 to 3 days of operation, while a 16-inch (41 cm) bed was able to meet the NVTOC limit for 8 to 12 days. A 30-inch (76 cm) bed has met the limit for up to 30 days, although the period is variable, possibly because of hydraulic short-circuiting. Further study of GAC treatment will use various grades and types of GAC and larger diameter columns to improve hydraulic flow. The effluent will be analyzed for the penetration of specific organics of interest as well as for NVTOC. Extramural Research Future plans include pilot- and full-scale research designed to examine the effectiveness of granular activated carbon, aeration, syn¬ thetic resins, potassium permanganate, UV catalyzed oxidation, and ozonation for the removal of specific raw water contaminants of concern, particularly carcinogens. Negotiations are currently in progress with the water utilities of Miami, Florida; Cincinnati, Ohio; Evansville, Indiana; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, that hopefully will lead to the award of research grants to these utilities for the large scale study of various water treatment organic removal unit processes. In addition, the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (0RSANC0) has proposed to act as a broker for several water utilities in the Ohio Valley who wish to alter their treatment practices to reduce the concentration of trihalomethanes in their finished water. Other planned research grants and contracts will investigate various aspects of the problem of carcinogens in drinking water, such as the influence of agricultural runoff on trihalomethane formation, reaction of chlorine with activated carbon and resulting by-products, competitive adsorption on GAC of specific organics of concern, specific precursors of trihalomethane formation, methods of reactivation of GAC, and formation of other chlorinated by-products during disinfection. At this time (November 1975), none of these research grants has been awarded and funding is uncertain. 44 Treatment Studies on Inorganics Of the substances studied thus far, only arsenic, selenium, and nitrates (potential nitrosoamine precursors) have been considered as suspected carcinogens in drinking water. Treatment technology studies for these substances have been conducted. Arsenic and selenium were studied in bench- and pilot-scale investigations by spiking Ohio River water and ground water from Glendale, Ohio, with concentrations of arsenic from two to ten times the levels in the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations. Bench- and pilot-scale studies on arsenic, selenium, mercury, barium, cadmium, and chromium have been conducted. These investigations showed that no one technique was effective for all contaminants studied. Lime softening achieved good removals on inorganic mercury, barium, arsenic V, cadmium, and chromium III. Ferric sulfate coagulation was effective for removing inorganic mercury, arsenic V, selenium IV, cadmium, and chromium III. Alum coagulation was effective on arsenic V, cadmium, and chromium III, although ferrous sulfate produced good removals on chromium VI. No technique was found very effective for arsenic III and selenium VI. Arsenic III can be removed by any method effective on arsenic V, providing arsenic III is first oxidized (chlorinated) to arsenic V. Preliminary results showed that reverse osmosis was effective for selenium VI removal. Anion exchange resins were effective for nitrate- nitrogen removal in soft water, but were less efficient in highly mineralized water. The optimum removals were as follows: arsenic V, excess lime softening, 60 to >90 percent removal, selenium IV, iron coagulation at pH <7, 30 to 60 percent removal, and nitrate-nitrogen, anion exchange >90 percent removal. Data presented earlier in the Report show that trihalomethane formation is enhanced by chlorination at higher pH. Therefore, any treatment processes used for inorganic contaminant removal that results in a higher pH may cause an increase in trihalomethane concentration, other factors being the same. Future work will consist of continuing the studies on the removal of selenium VI and investigating the removal of lead. In addition, a research grant was funded to study further the removal of nitrate from drinking water by ion exchange. Techniques for Controlling Radionuclides Information on the treatment potential of various techniques for radium 226 removal was obtained by monitoring several water treatment plants in Iowa and Illinois that are treating water that is naturally high in radium 226. Ion exchange softening, lime softening, and reverse osmosis were found to be effective for removing radium 226. To improve treatment cost data, a research grant was funded to determine the cost of unit treatment processes to remove radium 226 and the cost of disposing of the waste sludge material. 45 Methods of Removing Asbestiform Fibers Mixed media filtration and diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration were shown to be effective for reducing asbestiform fiber counts in Lake Superior water during pilot plant research conducted for five months in 1974. Among the most effective techniques were pretreatment of the water with alum and a nonionic polymer before mixed media filtration, and coating of the DE filter aid with alum or a polymer. Both amphibole and chrysotile fiber counts can be markedly reduced by either filtration technique. During the pilot plant study, engineering data were also obtained for making cost estimates for construction and operation of both granular media and DE filtration plants ranging in capacity from 0.03 to 30 million gallons per day. The City of Duluth has accepted a demonstration grant from EPA to build and operate a 30-million gallon per day filtration plant to demonstrate full-scale water treatment for reduction of asbestiform fiber count. EPA will provide guidance and direction for the research to be conducted at the plant. EPA is also considering research grant applications for development of a rapid optical means of detecting asbestiform fibers in drinking water, and for pilot plant research to reduce the chrysotile fiber count in water from a protected mountain watershed. 46 COST OF TREATMENT TO REMOVE CARCINOGENS General Cost of Water In most major metropolitan areas, the cost of drinking water, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and dis¬ infection, is from 30 to 50 cents per 1000 gallons. Of this overall cost, only 5 to 8 cents per 1000 gallons is the cost of water treatment. EPA has nearly completed a study that shows the average cost of drinking water in eleven major utilities to be about 43 cents per 1000 gallons. Twelve percent of these costs are for treatment, with the balance for acquisition of water, pumping, salaries of employees, administration, amortization of distribution systems, and other nontreatment costs. Additional treatment costs should be viewed in relation to the overall cost. Although treatment costs are relatively small, these costs will be significantly affected as a result of the implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. In an effort to determine possible cost increases, an attempt was made to estimate treatment costs for the control of a variety of contaminants. These costs, which include amortization of capital equipment as well as operation and maintenance costs, are only very general estimates because of several uncertain factors. These factors include the availability of chemicals, costs of chemical handling and disposal, cost of energy, general inflationary trends in materials and labor, and uncertainty of specific technology application, such as the reactivation schedule necessary when using granular activated carbon to prevent the breakthrough of toxic contaminants. For example, other investigators have estimated the cost of treating highly contaminated water by granular activated carbon to be about 11 cents per 1000 gallons as compared with the estimates contained in Table 10. Other uncertainties are lack of knowledge as to where, nationwide, these treatment processes will have to be applied and the impact of economics of scale. For example, the unit cost of applying these treatment processes to small systems may be much higher than in large systems. Finally, future research may develop new treatment methods unknown at this time (November 1975). Therefore, although these costs are accurate within the assumptions used, they must be viewed within the context of the above uncertainties. EPA is sponsoring several extramural projects that are designed to collect better cost information so that these estimates can be refined in the future. Cost of Removing Carcinogenic Contaminants By-Products of Chlorination (Chloroform and Other Trihalomethanes) Studies have shown that removing trihalomethanes is more difficult than preventing their formation. Two techniques are available for avoiding trihalomethane formation. One is the use of an alternative to chlorine as a disinfectant; the other is to remove the precursor(s) that react with chlorine. The most common choices for alternate disinfectants are ozone and chlorine dioxide. Ozone is a very strong disinfectant, but has the 47 disadvantage of not producing a disinfectant residual to carry through¬ out the distribution system. Furthermore, the reactions of ozone with organic compounds in the water are not well known. The possibility of the formation of undesirable by-products is under investigation. Chlo¬ rine dioxide has the advantage of producing a disinfectant residual, but generation of this material without excess chlorine is somewhat dif¬ ficult. Further, sodium chlorite, one of the reactants to produce chlorine dioxide, is relatively expensive, 65 cents per pound. The by¬ products of chlorine dioxide oxidation are also unknown at this time, and the toxicity of chlorite, should any remain in the water, is of concern. Because the disinfecting powers of these three disinfectants are different, the most appropriate way to compare them is on an equal disinfection basis. At the present time, this is not possible and research is necessary to better understand their disinfecting powers. On the basis of a dose of 1 mg/£, the cost of disinfection in cents per one thousand gallons is 0.08 cents for chlorine, 0.5 cents for chlorine dioxide, and 0.1 cents for ozone. Studies have shown that for 10 weeks granular activated carbon can remove sufficient concentrations of trihalomethane precursors to reduce the resultant chloroform concentration to 50 percent of that which would have been produced without treatment. To illustrate the costs that are involved in using and reactivating GAC on-site, costs have been estimated for two treatment plants with 10 and 100 million gallons per day filter capacity. Estimates were calculated for various reactivation times for GAC. Depending on the quality of the input water, reactivation require¬ ments will differ and accordingly affect the size of the furnace required to reactivate the exhausted activated carbon. The plant and furnace capacity will have a major impact on capital cost, although the rate of activated carbon attrition, maintenance, and energy requirements will affect operating costs. The cost assumptions used for the calculations are in Table 9. The data contained in Table 10 are based on the assumptions listed in Table 9, and illustrate the dual impact of economies of scale and water quality on unit treatment costs. For example, for any given reactivation cycle and flow rate, the cost per unit volume-is less for the 100 mgd plant than the 10 mgd plant, illustrating the economies of scale. In addition, operating costs (fuel, labor, attrition losses, and maintenance) decline as the reactivation cycles become longer, although the capital costs remain almost constant. Further, the increase in the unit volume costs that occurs when the treatment plant is operating at a rate below that of the initial design illustrates the cost of excess capacity. Finally, a not so apparent effect on cost is that of input water quality as reflected by reactivation frequency. The activated carbon in a 10 mgd plant operating at 7 mgd might be expected to become exhausted at a slower rate than when the plant is operating at full capacity, thereby reducing the cost of reactivation. The exact relation between flow rate and input water quality is not known at this time. 48 Table 9 ESTIMATED COSTS FOR GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON TREATMENT* Plant Filtration Capacity 10 mgd_100 mgd Furnace Cost 1 - 3 month reactivation 6-8 month reactivation $304,000 275,000 $1 ,100,000 560,000 Initial Activated Carbon -Charge (lbs.) -Cost (S) 260,000 98,800 2,600,000 988,000 Engineering Fees, Steam Generator, Quench Tank 20,000 3% of furnace and carbon costs Labor per Reactivation 2,500 15,000 *Assumptions Used in Estimating Treatment Costs for Granular Activated of Drinking Water Carbon Filter capacity - One million gallons per day ?

These costs in Table 10 are in addition to the costs of treating water for particulate removal and disinfection. The data given are for the use of GAC as a replacement for the granular media used in conventional water treatment. Studies have shown that, in terms of organic removal capacity, the filtration of carryover floe by GAC does not interfere significantly with adsorption for organic removal. Calculations have estimated that this is a less expensive method of treatment than the use of GAC following filtration for clarification. 49 ESTIMATED UNIT COSTS FOR USING GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON IN THE TREATMENT OF DRINKING WATER E CO o O • • • • 4-> 1— 1— 1— o r— CJ o -a CO LO CO CD 00 • • • • JZ o o o o o e\ 4-3 E e o o o CO 4-> > • • • • (T3 C_) 1— 1— o o E 00 CD 1— E CD 'Cj- o 00 1— 03 • • • • 1— ,— cm o ,— E -E • • • • C/3 4-3 o o o o o E #3 o CD o ^3- CO CD • • • • 4— CM C_3 1— r— o o r— 03 >> E o • i— e CO CO CM r^ E CD • • • • CD 13 I— 1— C\J i— f— CD cr E CD CO ■i— • E _e 00 CM 00 r- 03 E -O Ll_ 4-3 • • • • E O CD *—- E o o |- o r- CD -•—■. 4- E CO E O CD CD e o IE #3 CJ E 4-3 o •1— o ^3" CO CD E O • i— 1— 4-> CO • • • • CJ 03 CJ •r- 1— 03 o 1— |- o o 03 E < 4- 03 > E CD 00 CD 03 • i— E 4-3 E >3 4-> 13 E CD O i— O CJ CO CD C-s 4- •i— 4-> 4-> i— o ra • • • • 03 CO 03 o CD 1— C\J oo r— CM E E >>T3 E 1— oc O co CD CD -Q #3 4-3 E CO CO LO r — *vj" o E CO E E CD 4-3 -E • • • • ra CD CD CD 03 e 4-3 o 1— CM 1— CM CJ CO r— > to CO CO o 1 — i — o o 03 E CD CD 4-3 > o E -Q E CO *r— •1 — O 03 o 4-> 4-3 4- >> c_> (T> I— CO (J •i — 03 CO • • • • 03 E E E CD 4-3 1 — LO 00 LO I"- 4-> CD •r— • 1— -E «3 4-> -E 4-> i — e 4-> E 03 03 03 CL ZD E O •i- _E CL O CO 00 CO CO X) #3 -E 4-J Z3 • • • • E E to o CO ^3" CO 03 O >> to i— CJ -Q r— E E 03 4-> CD CD 1— CO LO ■o i — E 4-3 4-> • • • • CD 03 i — 03 o 1 — 1 — O o 4-> a -r- 03 i — •r— 4_ > CD 4- CD •i— Z3 •r- CD CJ E 4-> Ll_ E > 03 O CJ -- 03 03 4- •r— 03 •i- -E E CD 4-> «• — - p—V CO CO zs 1— o> O 4-3 4-3 CO 03 03 O p—- co E CO CD O =3 E X5 *o o O o -+-> 03 O -Q E CD 4-3 CD O o> r 1 O r"- co 4-3 CJ E CJ > E E i— O 4-> >> O O < — CJ -E 03 CO 03 T3 CO O E o E i— E •i— CJ 4-> #» 03 CD 4-> lO 03 CD CD 4-> Z5 03 1— 4-> JZ i— N * 1 — cr E 03 CO 4-3 CL •r— Q_ CD -4-> O E tn 03 CL O CJ CO 03 C_) O I— E X 4-> CD CD CD E ~o o o II II II CO 4-3 03 CD 1— o CD CO E i — E 1— o O 1— JZ >, O Q_ "— 1— CO Li_ 50 Organic Contaminants in Raw Water Thus far, the best method for removing environmental contaminants such as carbon tetrachloride, dieldrin, and haloethers from raw water is the use of beds of granular activated carbon. Studies are not suf¬ ficiently advanced at this time (November 1975) to determine the exact length of time of operation before the activated carbon needs to be reactivated for a wide variety of environmental carcinogens. GAC does, however, begin to lose some of its effectiveness for general organic carbon removal as evidenced by an increase in NVTOC concentration in the effluent after 4 to 6 weeks. In actual practice, the GAC beds might not have to be reactivated as frequently as these data indicate. For example, tests have shown that naphthalene is completely removed by GAC for at least 8 months (the duration of the study). Similarly, other specific organic compounds of concern may be effectively removed even though some other organics begin to pass through the bed. A further advantage of using GAC beds is that not only are environmental contaminants removed, but so are trihalomethane precursors. Finally, the extent of the national requirement for granular activated carbon treatment will not be known until the monitoring program described earlier on page 15, "Monitoring to Assess Parameters", is completed. Inorganics Arsenic Chemical coagulation and lime softening can effectively remove arsenic V and also arsenic III, providing the latter has been oxidized (by chlorination) to the higher oxidation state prior to treatment. Because the two water treatment processes are somewhat similar, the estimated costs for either process to remove arsenic are approximately the same, 12 to 15 cents per 1000 gallons, for a 1 mgd treatment plant. Seleniurn Lime softening and chemical coagulation can remove selenium IV with the latter being more effective. As noted above, the costs of the two processes are approximately the same, 12 to 15 cents per 1000 gallons. Presently, only reverse osmosis seems effective for the removal of selenium VI. Consequently, the costs of removing this form of selenium are much higher than for the reduced form. The range of costs for re¬ verse osmosis is estimated to be 71 to 104 cents per 1000 gallons for a 0.15 mgd treatment plant. Nitrate-nitrogen The only known treatment system currently (November 1975) in operation in the United States that is specifically designed to remove nitrate-nitrogen from drinking water is an ion exchange plant located on Long Island, New York. The plant has been operating for only a short time and operating costs are not available. The estimated cost for a 4 mgd plant operating at 40 percent of capacity, however, was 12 to 21 51 cents per 1000 gallons for the removal of 20 to 40 mg/£ of nitrate- nitrogen. This cost includes operating and amortized capital cost. Operating costs alone were estimated at 7 to 16 cents per 1000 gallons. Radium 226/228 Estimates on costs for removing radium from drinking water can be based on softening costs as the processes that soften water also remove radium. Typical costs are presented in Table 11. Table 11 COSTS FOR SOFTENING WATER Process Plant Size Cost Range, Cents/1000 Gal Ion Exchange 1.0 mgd 12 - 15 Lime Softening 1.0 mgd 27 - 34 Reverse Osmosis 0.15 mgd 71 - 104 The costs in this table may be low because they do not reflect the costs of disposing wastes generated by the treatment process in environmentally acceptable ways. If water treatment plants are compelled by pollution control agencies to treat wastes from softening processes, these costs will increase. EPA has funded a research grant designed to develop better estimates for the cost of radium removal from drinking water, including waste disposal costs. Asbestos Fibers As a result of the pilot-plant research on asbestos fiber removal conducted in Duluth, Minnesota, where the raw water is relatively low in turbidity, the estimated cost of water from a new 30 mdg direct filtration plant capable of removing particulates and asbestos fibers was approximately 7 cents per 1000 gallons. This included amortization of first cost, plus operating and maintenance costs. In existing plants currently operating to remove particulates, the additional cost to upgrade the treatment to remove asbestos fibers would be small, involving changes in coagulants and polyelectrolytes. 52 APPENDIX I NATIONAL ORGANICS RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY c: " ' r 1 >.

The ERAMS Drinking Water Component is an expansion of the previous Tritium Surveillance System which was operated by the Office of Radiation Programs from 1970 through June 1973. The Drinking Water Component consists of 77 quarterly drinking water samples taken from major population centers and selected nuclear facility environs. Tritium, a long-lived (half-life of 12.3 years) isotope of hydrogen (hydrogen-3), is analyzed on a quarterly basis with grab samples. Tritium is produced in nuclear power production and nuclear weapons testing, and naturally by cosmic radiation. Because it is chemically similar to hydrogen, tritium readily enters the body in water and is incorporated into living tissue. The following table presents the tritium concentrations in drinking water at the Drinking Water Component stations for 1974. The average tritium concentration was 0.3 nCi/1iter.
