This article discusses a new program to establish standards for all drinking water additives from a health effects point of view. The National Sanitation Foundation, the American Water Works Association Research Foundation, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers have been involved in efforts to establish these standards. The goal is to develop standards for anything that comes in contact with drinking water, so that the drinking water industry and its suppliers can be assured that nothing harmful is delivered to consumers inadvertently.
