| Recreational Water Quality |
EPA has released Two Literature Review Documents in 2009 Related to Recreational Water
Quality and Risks
EPA conducted two literature reviews to help inform development
of new or revised recreational water quality criteria by 2012. The first
document, Review of Published Studies to Characterize Relative Risks from
Different Sources of Fecal Contamination in Recreational Waters, describes
the existing information available to characterize the relative risks of
human illness from various sources of fecal contamination in recreational
waters.
The second document, Review of Zoonotic Pathogens in Ambient Water,
provides a summary of information on waterborne zoonotic pathogens that come
primarily from warm-blooded animals. Both documents are available on EPA's
Web site at:
