Acrylamide in Drinking Water
3.4 violations per affected system (93 across 27) - sparse load (≤ 3.7 violations per affected system).
EPA contaminant code: 2265
Acrylamide standing, low-volume SDWIS third
Acrylamide is in the lower third by violation volume (93). Sparse counts make each listed system more of the story, the table below is closer to the full affected set than it is for high-volume analytes. Load is sparse: 3.4 violations per affected system (sparse load (≤ 3.7 violations per affected system)), so the footprint is wide relative to the raw count, many systems with few records each. Health-based share is 26.9% - a material slice of the record is exposure-relevant, with the rest monitoring or reporting. Among 157 indexable contaminants, this page is #108 by violation volume. Utilities listed below are ranked by cumulative violation count for this analyte; pair that with population served to gauge household exposure scale.
