public is constantly barraged by contaminant reports now routinely

fall farther down the scale of possible health risks, but even
negligible detections raise public concerns. Drinking Water Quality

drinking water quality and regulatory issues reflecting experiences
and judgments from the author's more than 43 years of extensive
experience. It contains digested comprehensive information on
important chemical, microbial, and radionuclide water contaminants,
and discussions of several drinking water-related policy issues.

accessed information on sources, physical and chemical properties,
