Application of health-based screening levels to ground-water quality data in a state-scale pilot effort Application of health-based screening levels to ground-water quality data in a state-scale pilot effort
A state-scale pilot effort was conducted to evaluate a Health-Based Screening Level (HBSL) approach developed for communicating findings from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Program in a human-health context. Many aquifers sampled by USGS are used as drinking-water sources, and water-quality conditions historically have been assessed by comparing...

Development of health-based screening levels for use in state- or local-scale water-quality assessments Development of health-based screening levels for use in state- or local-scale water-quality assessments
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a need to communicate the significance of the water-quality findings of its National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program in a human-health context. Historically, the USGS has assessed water-quality conditions by comparing water concentration data against established drinking-water standards and guidelines. However, because drinking- water...
