Sommario/riassunto

This compendium volume is an indispensable source of information on the ways in which wastewater can impact public health. The editor, a well-respected expert in his field, has collected the most recent and pertinent investigations into this serious issue. Included are studies involving: The presence of various human enteric viruses in wastewater, which reach the public through drinking and daily use water, agriculture, and through fishing waters  Antibiotic resistance produced by genetic changes in wastewater bacterial communities, affecting both human and animal health  The presence of antid
