The Best Practice Guide on the Control of Lead in Drinking Water brings together, for the first time, all of the regulatory, health, monitoring, risk assessment, operational and technological issues relevant to the control of lead in drinking water. Its focus is Europe and North America and the Guide benefits from the input of an international research network involving 28 countries. A large range of illustrative examples and case studies are provided. The Guide will be of interest to scientists, engineers, regulators and health specialists who are involved in the provision of safe drinking water.
The Best Practice Guide provides a succinct compilation of the wide range of issues that relate to lead in drinking water, at a time when the regulations are under review in both Europe and North America. It will also be very relevant to all those implementing the Protocol on Water and Health, as lead in drinking water has recently been adopted as one of the key issues requiring assessment, improvement planning and reporting.
The key features are:
For the first time, all the complex inter-related aspects of lead in drinking water have been brought together.
The detailed explanations given on sampling and monitoring should avoid mistakes being repeated.
The information on optimising corrective treatment measures is the most comprehensive to date.
The Best Practice Guide will facilitate the protection of water consumers from lead contamination and reduce associated health risks.
This Guide is one of a series produced by the International Water Association’s Specialist Group on Metals and Related Substances in Drinking Water.
