Guideline technical document : toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes. Ottawa : Health Canada, 2014. v, 87 p. : tables. Issued also in French under title: Recommandations pour la qualité de l'eau potable au Canada, document technique, le toluène, l'éthylbenzène et les xylènes. "August, 2014". Includes bibliographical references. This guideline technical document reviews and assesses all identified health risks associated with toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes in drinking water, incorporating all relevant routes of exposure from drinking water—namely, ingestion as well as inhalation and skin absorption from showering and bathing. It assesses new studies and approaches and takes into consideration the availability of appropriate treatment technology in order to establish maximum acceptable concentrations that are protective of human health, measurable and achievable by both municipal and residential scale treatment technologies. Based on this review, the drinking water guidelines are maximum acceptable concentrations of 0.06 mg/L (60 μg/L) for toluene, 0.14 mg/L (140 μg/L) for ethylbenzene, and 0.09 mg/L (90 μg/L) for xylenes.
