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. 606 $aWater$xHardness 606 $aDrinking water 606 $aDrinking water$xStandards 615 0$aWater$xHardness. 615 0$aDrinking water. 615 0$aDrinking water$xStandards. 676 $a615.9/2534 712 02$aWorld Health Organization. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320231903316 996 $aCalcium and magnesium in drinking-water$92013990 997 $aUNISA
