Chloroform: Science, Policy, and Politics
As part of the Stage 1 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts (D/DBP) Rule, the US Environmental Protection Agency set a maximum contaminant level goal for chloroform at zero. This action touched off a firestorm of criticism, both technical and policy‐related, from several corners. The agency was accused of sacrificing science at the political alter on the one hand and praised for not changing a long‐standing policy on the other. This article discusses how the saga of chloroform regulation mirrors the controversies raised when advances in science collide with traditional policies and national politics.
