Primary (Health-Related) Disinfectants ByProducts - by Nelsen Corporation
MCLG+ = Maximum Containment Level Goal established at the level at which no known or anticipated adverse effects on the health of persons occur and which allows an adequate margin of safety; expressed per liter unless otherwise specified.
MCL+ = Maximum Containment Level established as close to the MCLG as feasible taking into consideration costs and treatment techniques applicable at public water systems; expressed in milligrams per liter unless otherwise specified.
