| 2016-07647 | Recommended Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Cadmium-2016 | Notice | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the release of recommended aquatic life water quality criteria for cadmium. EPA has updated its national recommended ambient water quality criteria for cadmium in order to reflect the latest scientific information, and current EPA policies and methods. EPA's water quality criteria for cadmium provides recommendations to states and tribes authorized to establish water quality standards under the Clean Water Act. In adopting water quality standards, states set exposure protections for aquatic life; acute exposure to cadmium results in lethality, while chronic exposure to cadmium negatively impacts growth, development, behavior, reproduction, and immune and endocrine systems in aquatic life. Cadmium enters the environment by natural and human processes, however, human sources, such as mining and urban processes, are responsible for contributing approximately 90 percent of the cadmium found in surface waters. | 2016-04-04 | 2016 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/04/04/2016-07647/recommended-aquatic-life-ambient-water-quality-criteria-for-cadmium-2016 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-04-04/pdf/2016-07647.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the release of recommended aquatic life water quality criteria for cadmium.
