Different countries and jurisdictions take a variety of approaches to setting water quality standards. Differences stem from philosophical differences, and variability in the application of risk tolerance, uncertainty management, and evidence thresholds. The approach adopted by the US EPA for establishing PFAS limits will be described and contrasted with alternative approaches adopted by other international health agencies.
