is different from traditional drinking water contaminants because it presents a latent public health risk for public and private drinking water systems and for the building water systems they supply. This paper reviews information on the likelihood of occurrence of in public water systems to lay a foundation for public water systems, as a stakeholder in public health risk management, to better manage . Important to this approach is a literature review to identify conditions that could potentially promote being present in drinking water systems at either an elevated abundance or at an increased frequency of occurrence, and/or water quality and supply conditions that would contribute to its amplification.
