Is there a legal limit for 1,4-dioxane in tap water?

The EPA has no enforceable limit for 1,4-dioxane in drinking water. Source is a 2014 EPA fact sheet; values may have been updated since (later TSCA risk evaluation 2024). Presence on CCL 5/draft CCL 6 not confirmed. No NSF claim confirmed.

How do I know a filter really removes 1,4-dioxane?

Look it up in the certifier's public database (NSF, WQA, IAPMO or CSA) under the exact model, and check that 1,4-dioxane is in its list of reduction claims. "Tested to NSF standards" in an ad is not the same as a listing.
