| Abstract: | The first bioavailability-based Water Quality Criteria were established for copper in the United States in 2007 (US Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA], [5]); however, implementation has been slow due to the complexities associated with the model. Regulatory implementation of guidelines and standards may be considered the final step that delivers the intended environmental benefit from extensive scientific investment and knowledge development. IMPLEMENTING METAL BIOAVAILABILITY APPROACHES FOR FRESHWATERS Efforts by regulators, industry, and research scientists to overcome barriers to the use of bioavailability-based approaches - especially with respect to water quality criteria, standards, and guidelines - have focused on some key areas.
