Contamination of water supplies, whether by chemical, biological or
radioactive agents, requires a rapid and effective response in
order to reduce or avoid impact on the environment or consumers.
Using seven major incident case studies (including the Milwaukee
Cryptosporidium incident, Chernobyl and the UK Foot and Mouth
outbreak), Water Contamination Emergencies: Can We Cope? looks at
the complete handling of emergency incidents relating to water
contamination emergencies. With contributions from experts involved
in real life international incidents, the book also looks at:
monitoring requirements; trying to prove the absence of
contamination; novel approaches to screening analysis; health
risks; the importance of efficient communication; the perception of
the public; and the international height of alert situation with
respect to potential terrorist acts. Anyone involved in water
contamination emergencies, whether researchers and professionals in
the water or health industries, or government agencies, should
welcome this title as a review of lessons learnt in the past and as
an identification of ways in which to improve response in the
future.
