v. 3 ISBN 9780309029322

Description

The most recent volume in the Drinking Water and Health series contains the results of a two-part study on the toxicity of drinking water contaminants. The first part examines current practices in risk assessment, identifies new noncancerous toxic responses to chemicals found in drinking water, and discusses the use of pharmacokinetic data to estimate the delivered dose and response. The second part of the book provides risk assessments for 14 specific compounds, 9 presented here for the first time.

Description

Chlorination in various forms has been the predominant method of drinking water disinfection in the United States for more than 70 years. The seventh volume of the Drinking Water and Health series addresses current methods of drinking water disinfection and compares standard chlorination techniques with alternative methods. Currently used techniques are discussed in terms of their chemical activity, and their efficacy against waterborne pathogens, including bacteria, cysts, and viruses, is compared. Charts, tables, graphs, and case studies are used to analyze the effectiveness of chlorination, chloramination, and ozonation as disinfectant processes and to compare these methods for their production of toxic by-products. Epidemiological case studies on the toxicological effects of chemical by-products in drinking water are also presented. Table of Contents FRONT MATTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 DISINFECTION METHODS AND EFFICACY 3 CHEMISTRY AND TOXICITY OF DISINFECTION 4 CHEMISTRY AND TOXICITY OF SELECTED DISINFECTANTS AND BY-PRODUCTS 5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS INDEX
