What Does CCL Stand For?
CCL stands for Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List
The Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) is a regulatory framework established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify and prioritize unregulated contaminants that may pose risks to public health in drinking water. The CCL serves as a critical tool for guiding research, monitoring, and potential future regulation of these substances, ensuring safe drinking water for communities. Updated periodically, the list reflects ongoing scientific assessments and emerging concerns related to water quality.
