1 The PFAS Mixture Hazard Index (HI) is the sum of component hazard quotients (HQs), which are calculated by dividing the measured component PFAS concentration in water by the relevant health-based water concentration when expressed in the same units (shown in ng/l for simplification). The HBWC for PFHxS is 10 ng/l; the HBWC for HFPO-DA is 10 ng/l; the HBWC for PFNA is 10 ng/l; and the HBWC for PFBS is 2000 ng/l.
Hazard Index = ([HFPO-DAwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l]) + ([PFBSwater ng/l]/[2000 ng/l]) + ([PFNAwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l]) + ([PFHxSwater ng/l]/[10 ng/l])
HBWC = health-based water concentration
HQ = hazard quotient
ng/l = nanograms per liter
PFASwater = the concentration of a specific PFAS in water

Table 4 to Paragraph (e)-Small System Compliance Technologies (SSCTs) for PFAS
Small system compliance technology 1 | Affordable for listed small system categories 2 |
Granular Activated Carbon | All size categories. |
Anion Exchange | All size categories. |
Reverse Osmosis, Nanofiltration 3 | 3,301-10,000. |
1 Section 1412(b)(4)(E)(ii) of SDWA specifies that SSCTs must be affordable and technically feasible for small systems.
2 The Act (ibid.) specifies three categories of small systems: (i) those serving 25 or more, but fewer than 501, (ii) those serving more than 500, but fewer than 3,301, and (iii) those serving more than 3,300, but fewer than 10,001.
3 "Technologies reject a large volume of water and may not be appropriate for areas where water quantity may be an issue.
