Because the aquatic threat is widely recognized, both environmental and drinking water standards for many materials can be found. These standards are included as representative of degree-of-hazard levels for substances in water. Fewer jurisdictions have regulated airborne pollutant levels; however, in cases where these limits exist, they have been included. Airborne limits are often directed toward neighbouring human health considerations, in contrast to environmental water requirements. 1, record 1, English, - airborne%20limit
