A combination of factors. A major influence has been findings from the Superfund program that organics are present in underground sources of drinking water and in surface water supplies. Another factor is the development of more subtle methods for detecting organics. More general concern has been stimulated by problems with hazardous waste sites like Love Canal and the hazardous waste regulatory program for synthetic substances.
