MCL — Maximum Contaminant Level
The enforceable legal limit. Public water systems must keep levels at or below this number. Violation triggers a public notice requirement.
1.0 mg/LMCLG — Maximum Contaminant Level Goal
The non-enforceable health goal set by the EPA. For known or probable carcinogens the MCLG is zero — no level of exposure is considered without risk.
