Under the Calderon-Sher California Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) develops public health goals (PHGs) for regulated chemicals in drinking water and reviews and updates the risk assessments every five years (Health and Safety Code Section 116365(e)(1)) or when possible. This memorandum represents an update of the literature review and evaluation for the existing PHG of 4 ppm for 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-fluoroethane (Freon 113, CFC-113 or FC-113) (OEHHA, 1997). Our re-evaluation supports the previous PHG derivation in 1997, and no new data would justify a significant change to the document.
