Disinfection By-Products: Relevance to Human Health de Jeffrey Wa Charrois

Disinfection By-Products: Relevance to Human Health

Editat de Jeffrey Wa Charrois, Steve E. Hrudey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2012
Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is based on contributions from aleading group of international and local researchers and drinking water utilitypersonnel, most of whom, in May 2011 attended two AWA sponsored forumsin Australia. Participants took part in workshops on Disinfection By-Products(DBPs) and Human Health; one convened at Ozwater'11 in Adelaide,Australia, the other hosted by the Curtin Water Quality Research Centre(CWQRC), Perth, Australia and co-sponsored by Curtin University, WaterCorporation (Western Australia), GHD Group Pty Limited, and Water QualityResearch Australia (WQRA).The contributions are prepared to facilitate communication with practitioners,as well as with researchers, making use of overview illustrations rather thandense text or data tables. Each chapter concludes with a number of keyfindings that are "take-home" messages for practitioners.Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is aimed specifically at drinkingwater professionals (engineers, chemists and public health professionals)working on the front lines of drinking water issues where they inevitablyencounter risk management issues concerning DBPs in addition to the dailybombardment of water quality and regulatory issues they must manage.Although a topic this complex is certainly not amenable to simplisticexplanations, this book aims to provide drinking water professionals witha pragmatic assessment of the current evidence and emerging issuesconcerning DBPs and public health.Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is an essential, practical andaccessible guide for drinking water professionals, engineers, chemists andpublic health professionals.
