Where is more information available about the potential health effects associated with the contaminants found in the sampled domestic wells?
The USEPA publishes fact sheets for many contaminants with MCLs at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hfacts.html, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry publishes ToxFAQs (summaries about chemical exposure and the effects of exposure on human health) at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaq.html. Information on the health effects of contaminants also is available from the USEPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) at http://www.epa.gov/iris. The U.S. Centers for Disase Control and Prevention provides information about contaminants specifically in domestic wells at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/healthywater/privatewell.htm.
