Alachlor (Lasso) violations in Maryland

3 active public water systems in Maryland had a Alachlor (Lasso) violation in the past three years, 1 of them still unresolved. What Alachlor (Lasso) is and why it matters.

Health effects: Chronic exposure to alachlor is associated with eye, liver, kidney, and spleen damage. EPA classifies it as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) based on animal studies showing nasal tumors. Long-term exposure above the MCL is the primary concern; children may be more susceptible to carcinogenic effects.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Alachlor (Lasso), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Alachlor (Lasso) alone.
