In the previous discussion, the use of toxicological studies was considered for purposes of setting water quality criteria for the protection of marine and freshwater organisms. An equally if not more important use of toxicology is to establish water quality criteria for the protection of the general public. In the United States, such criteria are established by different methods depending on whether the toxicants are believed to be carcinogenic or not.
