Find out detailed information about each Volatile Organic Chemical above including possible health effects and contaminate levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Click on the underlined Chemical.

1. MCLG - Maximum Contaminent Level Goal; In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act. This law requires EPA to determine safe levels of chemicals in drinking water which do or may cause health problems. These non-enforceable levels, based solely on possible health risks and exposure, are called Maximum Contaminant Level Goals.

2. MCL- Maximum Contaminent Level ; Based on this MCLG, EPA has set an enforceable standard called a Maximum Contaminant Level . MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as possible, considering the ability of public water systems to detect and remove contaminants using suitable treatment technologies.

3. ND - Not Detected; ND means that the chemical was below the MDL. The smallest level of chemical that can be detected The smallest level of chemical that can be detected by the test procedure that was ran. (MDL).
