Proposed Projects

1. Health Effects from Exposure to

High Levels of Sulfate in Drinking

Water—New—The Safe Drinking Water

Act Amendments of August 1996

require the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention, in collaboration with

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, to conduct a dose-response

study of the health effects of exposure

of susceptible populations to drinking

water that contains sulfate. There is

concern that individuals who are not

used to drinking water containing

sulfate will experience diarrhea when

they first drink tap water containing

high levels of sulfate. The effect is acute

and temporary. However, becoming

acclimated, or used to, water with high

levels of sulfate may take approximately

two weeks, during which time

individuals, particularly those who

cannot control their fluid intake, i.e.,

infants, may become dehydrated.

Previous studies of the effects of sulfate

on the incidence of diarrhea have

suffered from a number of limitations,

including small sample size, failure to

account for other causes of diarrhea, and

inadequate characterization of the water

itself. This study will analyze the

incidence of diarrhea in non-acclimated

infants and adults exposed to drinking

water containing a range of sulfate

concentrations by collecting data from

mothers of newborn infants living in

areas with a range of naturally-occurring

sulfate levels and adult volunteers who

will consume drinking water containing

specific levels of sulfate. The total

burden hours are 6063.4.
