The subcommittee also concluded that, in view of the results shown to date, both response-surface models and physiologically based pharmacokinetic models have potential in the risk assessment of mixtures in drinking water when a small number of materials are to be considered. These techniques offer promise of substantial progress in experiment design and in describing the dose-response relationships associated with exposure to multiple chemicals.

Because of the lack of necessary scientific information, these recommendations are offered as only the beginning of what should be a continuing process. Risk assessment methods related to exposure to multiple chemicals in drinking water and their underlying models and assumptions must be evaluated periodically as more data become available.
