Abstract
Jennifer Orme, who coordinates development of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) maximum contaminant level goals for drinking water disinfectants and their by‐products, talked with Journal Editor Nancy Zeilig in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 11, 1991, about the toxicologic aspects of the upcoming Disinfection—Disinfection By‐products (D—DBP) Rule as well as the tradeoffs inherent in trying to control microbial risks and the risks posed by DBPs. Currently chief of the drinking water health assessment section in the human risk assessment branch of the Health and Ecological Criteria Division in USEPA's recently formed Office of Science and Technology, Orme has been with the agency for 10 years and has worked in the area of drinking water for six and a half years. She joined USEPA's Health Effects Research Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio, then moved to the agency's Office of Toxic Substances in Washington, D.C. She received her bachelor's degree from Ohio Wesleyan University (Delaware, Ohio) and her master's degree from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio).
