Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is based on contributions
from speakers who participated in May 2011 workshops on
Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) and Human Health at Ozwater 11 in
Adelaide, Australia or at an AWA sponsored workshop at the Curtin
Water Quality Research Centre, Perth, Australia. The contributions
are prepared to facilitate communication with practitioners, rather
than researchers, making use of overview illustrations rather than
dense text or data tables. Each chapter concludes with up to 5 key
findings that are take-home messages for practitioners.
Disinfection By-Products and Human Health is aimed specifically at
drinking water professionals (engineers, chemists and public health
professionals) working on the front lines of drinking water issues
where they must encounter actual day-to-day issues of risk
management concerning DBPs in relation to all the other regulatory
and water quality issues they must manage. Although a topic this
complex is certainly not amenable to simplistic explanations, this
book aims to provide drinking water professionals with a pragmatic
assessment of the current evidence and emerging issues concerning
DBPs and public health. Disinfection By-Products and Human Health
is an essential, practical and accessible guide for drinking water
professionals, engineers, chemists and public health professionals.
