Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides guidance on the chemical safety of drinking-water. Chemical contaminants of drinking-water are often considered a lower priority than microbial contaminants because adverse health effects from chemical contaminants are generally associated with long-term exposures whereas the effects from microbial contaminants are usually immediate. Nonetheless chemicals in water supplies can cause very serious problems. The objective of this publication is to help users at national or local level to establish which chemicals in a particular setting should be given priority in developing st |
