About the Book

This text examines the issue of safe drinking water from both scientific and public health policy points of view. Twenty-seven chapters provide a forum in which EPA and non-EPA scientists discuss the challenges of implementing the 1986 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments. General areas covered include an update on regulating for microbes and disinfection by-products, exposure assessment and drinking water contamination, risk assessment and driking water contamination, and consumer protection from drinking water point of use systems. Drinking water professionals, environmental and engineering professionals, regulatory personnel, and legisltors should consider this important new book a "must-have" acquisition for their libraries.
