Description

The concern over the entry of agrochemicals and other xenobiotics into drinking water resources and over the general quality of drinking water is increasing. The topic of water quality and water supply will continue to be of great interest during the next two decades in developed as well as in developing countries. The new volume discusses in an authoritative way the key issues of drinking water and its often necessary treatment.

Table of Contents

Statutory and Regulatory Basis for Control of Drinking Water Quality.- Transformation of Organic Micropollutants by Biological Processes.- Fundamentals and Application of Biofilm Processes in Drinking-Water Treatment.- Significance and Assessment of the Biological Stability of Drinking Water.- Removal of Organic Micropollutants by Activated Carbon.- Models and Predictability of the Micropollutant Removal by Adsorption on Activated Carbon.- Origin and Elimination of Tastes and Odors in Water Treatment Systems.

Description

Drinking water quality is a vast and complex subject. In addition to the topics already addressed in Volume 5, part B of this Handbook in 1995, this new volume discusses in an authoritative way the current key issues of drinking water quality and its control: - Toxicity tests for assessing drinking water quality - Toxicological approaches for developing drinking water standards - Analysis of organic micropollutants - Algal toxins and human health - Quality changes due to application of ozone and chlorine dioxide. The articles are written by leading experts and present the state of the art of drinking water research. This volume will therefore be a valuable source not only for scientists and engineers, but also for decision-makers in government, environmental control and industry.
