EPA - Water Quality Benchmarks for Human Health and Aquatic Life
EPA, in coordination with the US Department of Health and Human Services, has developed benchmarks to assess potential human health risks from exposure to oil-contaminated water. These human health benchmarks are listed below.
To date, no chemicals have exceeded human health benchmarks. However, people should heed warnings from their local health officials regarding oil-impacted beaches and water. As an added safety precaution, if people see or smell oil in the water or beach area, they should avoid the oil-impacted area.

Human health benchmarks are based on potential cancer and non-cancer risks associated with exposure to oil-contaminated water in the Gulf. Where applicable, the benchmarks account for both skin contact and incidental ingestion of water by a child swimmer, assuming 90 hours of exposure. These benchmarks were developed by EPA in coordination with the US Department of Health and Human Services.
