National Primary Drinking Water Regulations table, antimony row

This is a print of the EPA web table of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, last updated on 31 August 2026.

This is a print of the EPA web table of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, last updated on 31 August 2026. It restates the drinking-water goal and the enforceable maximum for antimony. It is an HTML page printed to PDF, not a native CFR PDF. It does not regulate diapers or textiles.

Key numbers

The antimony row prints 0.006 in the column for the MCLG (mg/L) and 0.006 in the column for the MCL or TT (mg/L) (PDF p.4). The health-effects cell on that row is filled. It prints increase in blood cholesterol and decrease in blood sugar. The sources cell prints discharge from petroleum refineries, fire retardants, ceramics, electronics, and solder. Those two cells are the table’s own words. They are not the unfilled template in the archived consumer fact sheet.

Methods (brief)

The page was printed from epa.gov on 25 September 2026. The legal instrument remains 40 CFR 141. This print is the agency’s public table of that instrument.

Evidence fitness

The page supports the paired drinking-water figures of 0.006 mg/L as goal and as maximum, and the filled health-effects cell on this table. It does not support a diaper limit, a textile limit, or any sentence from the archived fact sheet’s unfilled long-term health paragraph.

Limitations

A web-page print can drift from the CFR if the page is edited. The CFR sections opened with this file print the same 0.006 mg/l. The column header here uses mg/L. The CFR header uses mg/l.
