The Drinking Water Handbook

About this book

This new edition of The Drinking Water Handbook is thoroughly revised and updated and includes a comprehensive discussion of "forever chemicals," as well as the herbicide atrazine in drinking water. It presents the latest coverage of contaminants in water, such as personal care products and pharmaceuticals (PCPPs) and endocrine disruptors, and examines the security requirements for waterworks and ancillary procedures. It examines the process of producing drinking water— from sources of water, to the purification process, through distribution systems to the tap, and then to the actual use and reuse of water. It also presents the latest advancements in treatment technologies and reviews new laws and regulations related to drinking water as well.

  • Thoroughly revised and updated, including a comprehensive discussion of the Flint, Michigan, lead contamination event.

  • Examines what is being done to mitigate growing concerns about disinfection by-products and PPCPs in water.
  • Provides coverage of individual contaminants found in water.
