This work provides those involved in water purification research and administration with a comprehensive resource of methods for analyzing water to assure its safety from contaminants, both natural and human caused. The book first provides an overview of major water-related issues in developing and developed countries, followed by a review of issues of sampling for water analysis, regulatory considerations and forensics in water quality and purity investigations. The subsequent chapters cover microbial as well chemical contaminations from inorganic compounds, radionuclides, volatile and semi-volatile compounds, disinfectants, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals, including endocrine disruptors, as well as potential terrorist-related contamination. The last chapter describes the Grainger prize-winning filter that can remove arsenic from water sources and sufficiently protect the health of a large number of people.
The Handbook of Water Purity and Quality is the authoritative source of methods of water purity analysis for researchers, regulators and managers in the field of water purification.
Covers the scope of water contamination problems on a worldwide scale
Provides a rich source of methods for analyzing water to assure its safety from natural and deliberate contaminants
Describes the filter that won the $1 million Grainger prize and thereby highlighting an important approach to remediation
