The Selenium Workgroup

The Selenium Workgroup is engaged in technical research on issues pertaining to selenium. Activities include the development of water quality tissue based standards for selenium, the implementation of such standards, development of effects thresholds, and the identification of analytical methods pertinent to such standards. As part of its ongoing efforts, the Work Group develops papers on these topics and shares them publicly.
