California Public Health Goals Data

Health Risk Category:	Developmental neurotoxicity (neurobehavioral effects), carcinogenicity, cardiovascular toxicity (high blood pressure)
Cancer Risk at PHG:	0.00000003
MCL value (mg/L):	0.015
Cancer Risk at MCL:	0.000002
Last PHG Revision :	2009
California PHG Comments:	CA MCL reflects the action level, measured at the tap. The calculated cancer PHG is 0.006 mg/L. The non-carcinogenic PHG is more sensitive level and thus used as the PHG for lead. OEHHA 2009. Public Health Goal for Lead
