Will EPA provide health effects language for Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) or Public Notification (PN) use?
No. For the CCR, health effects language is generally only required when there is a violation the contaminant is detected above the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). This can’t occur for unregulated contaminants, since they have no MCLs. However, EPA does provide information on likely sources and potential health effects from fact sheets and health advisories. The only requirements of the PN specific to unregulated contaminants is to indicate that the results are available and to provide a contact phone number for any interested party wishing to obtain more information.
