Abstract
In Canada, both federal and provincial governments have responsibilities related
to drinking water. In general, provincial governments a~e responsible for an
adequate, safe supply, whereas the federal Department of National Health and
Welfare develops quality guidelines and conducts research. The Guidelines for
Canadian Drinking Water Quality were published in 1978 and includes maximum
acceptable concentrations for 21 organic chemicals of health concern, 16 of which are pesticides. These guidelines are now being revised through a joint federal-provincial mechanism, with particular emphasis being placed on organic contaminants. The World Health Organization published revised drinking water quality guidelines in 1984 including health related guidelines for 18 organic. chemicals, 8 of which are pesticides.
