		2002 CFR Title 40--Protection of Environment, Chapter I--Environmental Protection Agency, Part 141--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Section of the Code of Federal Regulations that covers primary drinking water regulations. Includes maximum contaminant levels, sampling and analytical requirements, monitoring requirements, and more. (more) Publication Year: 2002	Jan 14, 2004
	Risk Assessment Program, Toxicology and Risk Analysis Section, Life Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Department of Energy	Chemical-Specific Toxicity Values Database of chemical-specific toxicity values derived from the EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), the Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables (HEAST), and other sources. You may retrieve data for oral, inhalation, or dermal pathways on reference dose, reference concentration, unit risk, and slope factor. You may also retrieve a variety of other chemical-specific factors, including beef transfer coefficient, fish bioaccumulation coefficient, and milk transfer coefficient. You can format the output as an onscreen table, a tab delimited file, or a comma delimited file. (more)	Aug 27, 2002

	National Center for Environmental Assessment, Office of Research and Development, Environmental Protection Agency	Example Exposure Scenarios This document presents exposure scenarios for different exposure pathways and demonstrates the application of data from the Exposure Factors Handbook in estimating exposures. For each scenario, an exposure algorithm, exposure factor inputs, calculations, and exposure characterization and uncertainties are presented. Ingestion pathways described include contaminated homegrown vegetables, homegrown tomatoes, beef, dairy products, drinking water, fish, and breastmilk. (more) Publication Month: April 2004	Sep 16, 2004
	Environmental Protection Agency	Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act; National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; and National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations; Analysis and Sampling Procedures; Proposed Rule Proposed rule to change analysis and sampling procedures in wastewater regulations and to change methods in drinking water analysis and monitoring. There is also a request for comments on "EPA Microbiological Alternate Test Procedure (ATP) Protocol for Drinking Water, Ambient Water, and Wastewater Monitoring Methods". (more) Publication Date: Tuesday, April 6, 2004	Apr 8, 2004
	Risk Assessment Program, Toxicology and Risk Analysis Section, Life Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Department of Energy	Human Health Risk Exposure Model This tool uses exposure concentrations to calculate doses and risks. The equations for performing this analysis are also available for different exposure scenarios. Exposure through consumption of fish can be found in the RECREATIONAL LAND USE; Exposure to Contaminants in Water section, and exposure through the consumption of homegrown produce can be found in the RESIDENTIAL LAND USE; Exposure to Contaminants in Water section.
