Abstract

This project developed an electronic tool that drinking water utilities can use to respond to emerging contaminant challenges (specifically, EDCs and PPCPs). The tool provides information and references, and identifies considerations for water utilities when planning monitoring programs, analytical methods, treatment processes and treatment enhancement options, source protection efforts, risk assessment, and effective communication strategies that can be used with customers and other stakeholders on EDCs and PPCPs. An Executive Summary describing the tool is also available. Completed in 2012.

As of August 2023, the web tool has been discontinued.
