Methods used to derive water quality regulations for persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances (PBTs) in the United States have evolved substantially over the past 50 yr, leveraging current understandings and assumptions about the nature and magnitude of partitioning and accumulation of substances in water, sediments, and organisms. In the United States and across the world, environmental regulations continue to evolve into more refined water quality criteria protective of aquatic life and human health. The present review provides historical context on the establishment of aquatic life and human health water quality criteria in the United States by compiling information from regulatory agencies and peer-reviewed literature on methods used to characterize and quantify bioaccumulation of substances in aquatic organisms and humans. Primary data needs and assumptions for various methods, as well as their application in setting criteria by the US Environmental Protection Agency over the past half century, are highlighted. Our review offers an important retrospective on the data and methods used to derive water quality criteria for PBTs and provides commentary on the future of US criteria development.

推导美国生物蓄积性物质的人类健康和水生生物水质标准：历史回顾和未来展望

在过去的 50 年里，利用当前对水中物质分配和积累的性质和程度的理解和假设，美国用于制定持久性、生物累积性和有毒物质 (PBT) 水质法规的方法发生了重大变化，沉积物和生物。在美国和世界各地，环境法规不断演变为保护水生生物和人类健康的更精细的水质标准。本综述通过汇编来自监管机构的信息和同行评议的文献，提供了关于在美国建立水生生物和人类健康水质标准的历史背景，这些文献描述了用于表征和量化水生生物和人类中物质的生物累积的方法。重点介绍了过去半个世纪以来各种方法的原始数据需求和假设，以及它们在美国环境保护署制定标准中的应用。我们的审查对用于得出 PBT 水质标准的数据和方法进行了重要回顾，并对美国标准发展的未来提供了评论。环境毒物化学2021；40:2394–2405。© 2021 SETAC
