Simazine in Drinking Water
8,903 public water systems carry at least one Simazine violation - wide footprint (> 8,691 systems).
EPA contaminant code: 2037
Simazine standing, mid-volume SDWIS third
Simazine lands in the middle third by violation volume (48,645), large enough for peer comparisons but not one of the handful of analytes that dominate the fleet-wide SDWIS ledger. Load sits mid-pack at 5.5 violations per affected system (mid load (≤ 5.8 violations per affected system)). Health-based share is only 0.1% - almost all of this analyte's trail is monitoring/reporting rather than MCL exceedance. Among 157 indexable contaminants, this page is #54 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.
