Despite important improvements in the last decades, access to safe drinking water is not universal. The World Health Organization estimates that almost 10% of the population in the world do not have access to improved drinking water sources. Among other diseases, waterborne infections cause diarrhea, which kills nearly one million people every year, mostly children under 5 years of age. On the other hand, chemical pollution is a concern in high-income countries and an increasing problem in low- and middle-income countries. Exposure to chemicals in drinking water may lead to a range of chronic non-communicable diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease), adverse reproductive outcomes, and effects on children?s health (e.g., neurodevelopment), among other health effects. Although drinking water quality is regulated and monitored in many countries, increasing knowledge leads to the need for reviewing standards and guidelines on a nearly permanent basis, both for regulated and newly identified contaminants. Drinking water standards are mostly based on animal toxicity data, and more robust epidemiologic studies with accurate exposure assessment are needed. The current risk assessment paradigm dealing mostly with one-by-one chemicals dismisses the potential synergisms or interactions from exposures to mixtures of contaminants, particularly at the low-exposure range. Thus, evidence is needed on exposure and health effects of mixtures of contaminants in drinking water. Finally, water stress and water quality problems are expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change and increasing water demand by population growth, and new evidence is needed to design appropriate adaptation policies.This Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the links between drinking water quality and human health. 610 $arisk assessment 610 $atime series study 610 $arisk context 610 $aammonia 610 $afluoride 610 $aexposure assessment 610 $awater safety plan 610 $aHWTS implementation 610 $ahuman health 610 $asimulation study 610 $adrinking water guidance 610 $achlorination by-product 610 $aadverse reproductive outcomes 610 $aspatial variations 610 $aTHMs 610 $azinc 610 $aradioactivity 610 $athyroid disease 610 $arisk management 610 $ainfants 610 $awater contamination 610 $ainfant health 610 $asmall for gestational age 610 $adrinking water quality 610 $amethemoglobinemia 610 $amagnesium 610 $amonitoring 610 $aeffect measure modification 610 $anitrite 610 $ahealth-based guideline 610 $aenvironmental exposure 610 $aorganic matter 610 $aMaryland 610 $atap water 610 $aimpact assessment 610 $aturbidity 610 $achronic kidney disease 610 $afever 610 $adiarrhoeal disease 610 $arural water resources 610 $adrinking water 610 $aacute gastroenteritis 610 $aNigeria 610 $aE. coli 610 $apharmacokinetic modeling 610 $achemical risk assessment 610 $auncertainty factors 610 $acommunity water system 610 $agroundwater 610 $adental health 610 $ainorganic manganese 610 $aatrazine 610 $aduration extrapolation 610 $ahealth insurance data 610 $aspace?time detection 610 $aseasonality 610 $afecal coliforms 610 $awater safety plans 610 $apreterm birth 610 $adissolved oxygen 610 $agravity-fed piped water scheme 610 $aurban area 610 $acough 610 $awater operation data 610 $ascreening method 610 $aendogenous nitrosation 610 $ainfant exposure 610 $asanitary inspection 610 $awaterborne disease outbreak 610 $aN-nitroso compounds 610 $aend-stage renal disease 610 $aarsenic 610 $adiarrhea 610 $asodium 610 $aprivate wells 610 $aanimal feeding operation 610 $aendocrine disruptor 610 $aVibrio pathogens 610 $aLTD 610 $adisinfection by-product 610 $achemical oxygen demand 610 $apotassium 610 $abiomonitoring 610 $anitrate 610 $aannual effective dose 610 $asub-Saharan Africa 610 $aFrance 610 $acarcinogenic 610 $apublic health 610 $aenterococci 610 $acalcium 610 $awater and sanitation 610 $apharmaceuticals 610 $aenvironment 610 $adrinking water distribution systems 610 $awater contaminants 610 $aAsia-Pacific region 610 $aDenmark 610 $atrihalomethanes 610 $arisk 610 $acancer 610 $alow birth weight 610 $adrug labels 700 $aVillanueva Belmonte$b Cristina$4auth$01320427 702 $aLevallois$b Patrick$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346664503321 996 $aDrinking Water Quality and Human Health$93034294 997 $aUNINA
