Develops recommendations on sampling program designs to support alternative frameworks for a revised drinking water standard. Evaluates the suitability of immunoassay test methods for compliance or routine monitoring by water utilities. Also evaluates the effectiveness of various activated carbon-based treatment methods to remove atrazine and its degradate compounds from drinking water supplies.
