How Are Toxicological Assessments Used in the CWA?
Toxicological assessments play a vital role in the implementation of the CWA. These assessments involve the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms. They help determine the toxicity levels of various pollutants and establish safe exposure limits. The data derived from these assessments guide the EPA in setting regulatory standards and permissible limits for pollutants under the CWA.
