The "Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality" is one of the
longest-standing normative publications of WHO. They provide an
evidence-based point of departure for standard setting and
regulation as a basis for health protection. They include an
assessment of the health risks presented by the various microbial,
chemical, radiological and physical constituents that may be
present in drinking-water. Where applicable, they derive maximum
concentration guideline values for these hazardous constituents.In
the spirit of primary prevention, the "Guidelines" recommend
pro-active efforts to assess and reduce health risks. They have
evolved from a prescriptive document, which established
international standards for end-of-pipe water quality, into a
normative best practice manual on drinking-water management.The
"Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality" are recognized as the UN
system's official position on drinking-water quality. The European
Commission and Japan use the "Guidelines" as the scientific point
of departure for their drinking-water directive and drinking-water
quality standards, respectively; the Australian Drinking Water
Guidelines are based on the WHO guidelines, while the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Canada's Health Canada
actively observe and participate in the WHO guidelines development
and updating process.This fourth edition of the "Guidelines"
focuses primarily on consolidating and clarifying the changes
introduced in the third edition and its addenda, especially those
aspects on good management practices, as well as incorporating
revised or new risk assessments for various chemical and microbial
hazards.
