审查了水中污染物对少数群体和经济上处于不利地位的人的影响，概述了有关水的环境立法，作为评价有关研究的背景资料。现有的资料大多是传闻或个案研究，不适于进行数量比较或分析。然而，数据确实呈现出某些趋势，从而得出结论，在接触水中污染物方面可能存在不公平现象。提出了以下建议：应分析现有的数据库，并建立新的数据库，以便利评估所有人口接触水传播污染物的情况，应对《安全饮用水法》未涵盖的人口进行分析;应对饮用水基础设施进行调查，并对调查结果进行评价，以查明对少数群体和经济上处于不利地位的人的任何影响;需要确定影响人类暴露于水污染物的社会、文化和经济特征，需要制定和实施更好的教育和社区推广计划
The impact of contaminants in water on minorities and economically disadvantaged persons was reviewed Environmental legislation governing water was summarized as background information against which relevant studies were evaluated. The majority of the available information was anecdotal or case study and did not lend itself to making quantitative comparisons or analyses. However, the data did present certain trends that led to the conclusion that inequities concerning exposure to contaminants in water may exist. The following recommendations were made: current data bases should be analyzed and new data bases created to facilitate assessments of exposure to waterborne contaminants to all populations, an analysis of populations not covered by the Safe Drinking Water Act should be undertaken; a survey should be conducted of the drinking water infrastructure and the results evaluated to identify any impacts to minorities and economically disadvantaged persons; the social, cultural and economic characteristics that influence human exposure to waterborne contaminants need to be identified, and better educational and community outreach programs need to be developed and implemented
