The papers main objectives are to explore actual known risks and the risk assessment from existing studies and to identify the potential hazards of the current wastewater system that allows the release of a potentially damaging substance. The paper begins by providing the background to ICM, and the data collection methods and sources are discussed. The paper then examines the precautionary principle, and hazard characterizations of ICM. The short and long term effects of the release in waste water supply are examined, and the paper presents a risk assessment. The paper concludes by suggesting recommendations to reduce the potential hazard of ICM exposure.
