Sommario/riassunto

Taste and Odour in Source and Drinking Water provides an updated evaluation of the characterization and management of taste and odour (T & O) in source and drinking waters. Authored by international experts from the IWA Specialist Group on Off-flavours in the Aquatic Environment, the book represents an important resource that synthesizes current knowledge on the origins, mitigation, and management of aquatic T & O problems. The material provides new knowledge for an increasing widespread degradation of source waters and global demand for high-quality potable water.
