Uncertainties Drive Arsenic Rule Delay
The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is under court order to sign a proposed rule for arsenic by November 30, 1995. The agency recently announced that it will not meet this deadline, citing the need to gather additional information. Development of a National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulation for arsenic has been delayed several times over the past 10 years because of uncertainties regarding health issues and costs associated with compliance. The early history of development of the arsenic rule has been reviewed. Only recent developments are reviewed here.
