This EPA case study describes the water quality-based toxicity control procedures that researchers used to address a serious water quality problem on the Cuyahoga River in northeastern Ohio. When the Cuyahoga caught fire at Cleveland, OH, on June 22, 1969, the river immediately became a symbol of the degraded state of the nation1s surface waters. Since then, significant efforts have been made to improve the Cuyahoga River1s water quality. The objective of this study is to provide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program managers, NPDES permit writers, and water quality specialists with an example of how toxicity testing can be used to address pre-identified toxic water quality problems. Charts and tables.

Biomonitoring—a method for measuring amounts of toxic chemicals in human tissues—is a valuable tool for studying potentially harmful environmental chemicals. Biomonitoring data have been used to confirm exposures to chemicals and validate public health policies. For example, population biomonitoring data showing high blood lead concentrations resulted in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) regulatory reduction of lead in gasoline; biomonitoring data confirmed a resultant drop in blood lead concentrations. Despite recent advances, the science needed to understand the implications of the biomonitoring data for human health is still in its nascent stages. Use of the data also raises communication and ethical challenges. In response to a congressional request, EPA asked the National Research Council to address those challenges in an independent study. Human Biomonitoring for Environmental Chemicals provides a framework for improving the use of biomonitoring data including developing and using biomarkers (measures of exposure), research to improve the interpretation of data, ways to communicate findings to the public, and a review of ethical issues.
