Water pollution due to discharge of toxic chemical wastes is closely regulated by both the EPA and FDA. Such substances are defined in the 1972 amendment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as those which will cause death, disease, cancer, or genetic malfunctions in any organisms with which they come into contact. Substances added to water for purification purposes (chlorine, aluminum sulfate, etc.) are excluded from the category of pollutants. See Environmental Protection Agency air pollution water pollution. 

For the assessment of the contribution of the emission categories to the observed NMVOC concentrations the Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) modelling technique, version 8 from United States Environmental Protection Agency (Watson et al., 1998 Watson et al., 2001) was selected. The method uses source specific ratios between the emission rates of certain set of compounds and aims to recognise these fingerprints, or soiuce profiles, in the profile measured at the receptor point. As a result the CMB model delivers contributions from each source type to the total ambient NMVOC and individual hydrocarbon species at receptor points and their uncertainties.

If a chemical is described in the table as carcinogenic but an lARC category is not given, lARC has not classified the chemical, but other sources (eg, US Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Health Services Hazard Evaluation Service and Information System) consider it carcinogenic.
