It includes a comprehensive consensus view on what is known and what is not about the role and possible health benefit of calcium and magnesium in drinking-water. Also included is a series of chapters each authored by internationally renowned experts reviewing the state of the art in different aspects, including: global dietary calcium and magnesium intakes; the contribution of drinking water to calcium and magnesium intake; health significance of calcium and magnesium; role of drinking-water in relation to bone metabolism; epidemiological studies and the association of cardiovascular disease risks with water hardness and magnesium in particular; water production, technical issues and economics.--Publisher's description.WaterHardnessDrinking waterDrinking waterStandardsWaterHardness.Drinking water.Drinking waterStandards.615.9/2534World Health Organization.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140824003321Calcium and magnesium in drinking-water2013990UNINA
