Giardia l​amblia
What is Giardia l​amblia?
Giardia l​amblia is a parasite that lives in the intestine of infected humans or animals. It is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with the feces from infected humans or animals.

What are the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for Giardia l​amblia?
​The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for contaminants in public drinking water. The MCL is the maximum concentration that is allowed for public water supplies. The United States Environmental Protection Agency states the maximum
contaminant level for Giardia l​amblia allowed in drinking water is zero.

What are the potential health effects from long-term exposure above the MCL?
Giardia l​amblia is known to cause gastrointestinal illnesses such as diarrhea, vomiting, and cramps, after long term exposure.

What treatment methods have been proven to be effective for removal or inactivation?
Disinfection with ultraviolet light or ozone and/or filtration has been most effective for inactivating Giardia l​amblia.
