Handbook of Drinking Water Quality

"Well–written and informative." —Richard Lewis, Lewis Information Systems "This [book] combines information which could possibly have required as many as four reference sources in the past." —Steven C. Messer In its first edition, John De Zuane’s popular reference drew wide praise for being an insightful theoretical resource. Now, in the second edition of Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, De Zuane builds on that legacy with the same practical and conceptual emphases, adding a wealth of new information that provides immediate access to the data and guidelines needed tounderstand the impact of drinking water parameters on public healthhelp build and operate water supply facilitiesconduct reliable drinking water sampling, monitoring, and analytical evaluationimplement potability standards from the source to the treatment facility, to storage, to the tapwrite new standards and expand/modify existing standards as quickly as neededPreventing contamination of drinking water requires a multidisciplinary perspective, one that incorporates elements of bacteriology, chemistry, physics, engineering, public health, preventive medicine, and control and evaluation management. In a concise, easy–to–use format, Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, Second Edition, describesData and guidelines from the World Health Organization and the European Community used to develop drinking water standardsU.S. drinking water standards—their physical, chemical, microbiological, and radionuclide parameters and monitoring requirementsEPA–approved analytical methods and the most effective treatment technologies for each contaminantCritical concepts of water quality control as applied in water treatment in conventional or chemical treatment plantsDisinfection and fluoridation requirementsCommon problems with water distribution systems, including dead ends, sediments, bacterial gro wth, insufficient pressure, and main breaksTo keep pace with recent breakthroughs in scientific research, water analysis, and program implementation and monitoring, this Second Edition features expanded and updated information onAll drinking water regulations issued since the previous edition in 1990Current drinking water standards adopted by the European CommunityLead poisoning, radon, and CryptosporidiumCompulsory water treatment for lead and copperColiform Rule compliance (disinfection and filtration)Trihalomethane reduction with ozonationAs a quick reference, handbook, and technical manual Handbook of Drinking Water Quality, Second Edition, is an essential volume for engineers, water supply and treatment personnel, environmental scientists, public health officials, or anyone responsible for assuring the safety of drinking water.
