Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality Management for New Zealand, May 2017
Datasheets Index pages
INTRODUCTION
Datasheets have been prepared for the microbiological, chemical and physical determinands of health significance (i.e. those with a MAV) listed in the Drinking-water Standards for New Zealand (DWSNZ). Datasheets have been prepared for the aesthetic determinands listed in the DWSNZ (with a guideline value or GV).
Datasheets have also been prepared for determinands of possible health significance but which do not have a MAV in the DWSNZ. These determinands:
· may have had a MAV in earlier editions of the DWSNZ, or
· may have health concerns but are considered by the WHO unlikely to be of concern in drinking-water, or
· appear in the World Health Organization (WHO) “rolling revision list”, or
· are chemicals that have been identified by the Pesticides Programs Office of the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)[1] as having, or potentially having, carcinogenic properties, or
· are pesticides registered for use in New Zealand, or
· are chemicals that may be available for use in New Zealand.
Some datasheets have also been written for determinands that may possibly affect the aesthetic quality of drinking-water, but which do not have a GV in the DWSNZ or WHO – their datasheets appear in Part 2.1 or Part 2.2.
The datasheets (in Part 1 and Part 2) provide information, where available or relevant, on:
· Chemical Abstract Service Numbers (CAS No.), synonyms and common trade names
· the sources of the determinands
· how they are distributed, and their fate, in the environment
· typical concentrations found in drinking-water
· how water can be treated to remove or inactivate the determinand
· how they can be analysed (this section is not being kept up to date), and
· health considerations with an explanation how the MAV or guideline value was derived
· references to further information.
This information should be useful:
· for water supply managers and drinking-water assessors in identifying the source of a problem or how to solve it
· in providing information for people preparing Water Safety Plans
· as a source of background information for the general public.
All determinands appear alphabetically in the full list, which also indicates where the individual datasheets are located. Part 3 lists many of the determinands according to their type or their origin. Some determinands appear in more than one list. For example, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is an organic determinand (with a MAV), an aesthetic determinand (with a GV), and is a disinfection by-product, so is listed accordingly; the Index shows where to find the datasheet.
Many determinands have more than one name. Only a few common synonyms appear in the Part 2 lists. Some individual chemicals are discussed under generic or broader headings such as PAHs and permethrin, sometimes instead of having their own datasheet, or are included in discussion of major metabolites. If a determinand does not appear in the lists, readers can use Edit/Find. For example, opening Datasheets 2.2 Organics and entering chlorodibromomethane in the Find box, tells the reader to look at the datasheet for dibromochloromethane. Note that trade names have not been used in the datasheets very often.
Note that the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, 4th edition (2011) are available at: http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/publications/2011/dwq_guidelines/en/index.html. This leads readers to their fact sheets, from which a lot of the information in these datasheets has been taken.

The Australian Government maintains a list of acceptable daily intakes (ADI) for agricultural and veterinary chemicals, see:
http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/ocs-adi-list.htm
or for the Dec 2012 release, see: http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/E8F4D2F95D616584CA2573D700770C2A/$File/ADI-Dec12.pdf
NOTE: most of the analytical methods have not been updated since the 1995 or 2005 Edition.
