"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 to
- understand the impact of drinking water parameters on public
health
- help build and operate water supply facilities
- conduct reliable drinking water sampling, monitoring, and
analytical evaluation
- implement potability standards from the source to the treatment
facility, to storage, to the tap
- write new standards and expand/modify existing standards as
quickly as needed
Preventing 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, describes
- Data and guidelines from the World Health Organization and the
European Community used to develop drinking water standards
- U.S. drinking water standards--their physical, chemical,
microbiological, and radionuclide parameters and monitoring
requirements
- EPA-approved analytical methods and the most effective
treatment technologies for each contaminant
- Critical concepts of water qualitycontrol as applied in water
treatment in conventional or chemical treatment plants
- Disinfection and fluoridation requirements
- Common problems with water distribution systems, including dead
ends, sediments, bacterial growth, insufficient pressure, and main
breaks
To keep pace with recent breakthroughs in scientific research,
water analysis, and program implementation and monitoring, this
Second Edition features expanded and updated information on
- All drinking water regulations issued since the previous
edition in 1990
- Current drinking water standards adopted by the European
Community
- Lead poisoning, radon, and Cryptosporidium
- Compulsory water treatment for lead and copper
- Coliform Rule compliance (disinfection and filtration)
- Trihalomethane reduction with ozonation
As 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.
