Summary : The French agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety (ANSES) evaluates risks, in particular when French regulatory values for drinking water quality are exceeded. The working group in charge of these risk assessments is increasingly asked to conduct risk assessments for drinking water containing unregulated chemicals. This article considers two examples of health risk assessments: bromate and perchlorate. Perchlorate is not regulated in France but was recently found in both raw and drinking water. Bromate is regulated, with a quality limit of 10 μg/L. |
