|
New Jersey Drinking Water Quality Sampling Results for Arsenic in Community Water Systems |
|
abstract:
|
This data set contains information on Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) yearly and quarterly measures of arsenic in community water supplies. Data are derived from State Drinking Water Act databases. The data set contains aggregated data for community public water system (PWS) per year or quarter with average and maximum concentrations of arsenic. Population served data are also available. |
|
purpose:
|
This data set contributes to the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network. The EPHT cooperative aggreement states that "by September 30, 2008 [...all grantees must]track and make available core environmental health tracking measures on the State and National EPHT Network [...including...] data/information on key water contaminants, as defined through the Content Workgroup process." The Content Workgroup Water Team identified initial contaminants of concern for the National EPHT program, identified nationally consistent data sources, and developed nationally consistent indicators and measures. This data set is one of three data sets that can be used to examine water contaminants found in community water systems in New Jersey. |

These are aggregate summary measures of contaminant levels in finished water and the potential for population exposure and not true exposure estimates, therefore they should not be used in any epidemiologic investigations of health outcome and environmental linkages.
