Suggested-No-Adverse-Response Levels SNARL

The National Academy of Science/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) gives a suggested no adverse response level (SNARL) for aldicarb in drinking water of 7 ppb (22). The USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recommended a "Health advisory level of 10 ppb. The California Department of Health Services has adopted EPA s limit as an action level (24). 

Simazine has received considerable notoriety based upon the finding of levels equal to or less than 3.5 ppb in six out of 217 wells evaluated in a study in California [17]. These six wells are suspected of being point source contaminations [18]. Based upon the toxicity data and its use in algae and weed control in ponds, simazine has a potable water tolerance of 10 ppb. It has a Suggested No Adverse Response Level [SNARL] established by the National Academy of Sciences of 1,500 ppb. However, because of the...
